PSHE Education resources survey
We're currently doing some research into PSHE Education resources and how you use them in your lessons:
- What resources do you use and what do you think of them?
- Is there anything you would like to see that isn't currently available?
- Which PSHE Education topics do you need most support with?
If you can help with these questions, please get in touch citizenshipnest@hodder.co.uk

PSHE Association Conference
We attended the PSHE Association Conference on 23 June, and really enjoyed meeting lots of PSHE co-ordinators and teachers. There was a lot of interest in our ne PSHE Education course for KS4 and help with our market research for future projects. If you would like to help us find out more about your needs for PSHE Education, please contact us at
citizenshipnest@hodder.co.uk. The conference was all about the impact of PSHE on young people.
Association of Citizenship Teachers Conference
We also went to the ACT Conference on 27 June. It was good to hear from Liz Moorse with an update on Citizenship and the curriculum review - with an emphasis on the fact that the government has not yet made any firm decisions on what subjects will be included in the National Curriculum. We won't find out until January 2012 when there will also be a further call for evidence. Pete Pattisson gave an inspiring presentation about his citizenship teaching using video, you can find his ideas in his blog at
www.mrpattisson.wordpress.com. At our stand we had a lot of interest in our Key Stage 3 Citizenship course This is Citizenship and again we had help with our market research - please contact us if you would like to help us find out more about your needs for Citizenship Education at
citizenshipnest@hodder.co.uk.
Meanwhile on the Citizenship & PSHE Nest
Ade Sofola from Think Global is our guest blogger for July. She'll be blogging about global issues relating to Citizenship and PSHE topics. Read her
