Thinking Through PSHE

Thinking Through PSHE, Citizenship and Careers Education & Guidance helps you to explore how Thinking Skills activities engage students in a learning process that is also a social experience.

Exemplars support students to construct their own understanding and ultimately to become independent learners.
