The Cross-Curricular Course for PSE
The 'Issues' course is designed for use on a year-by-year basis with this book corresponding to Year 8, but the structure is sufficiently flexible to allow teachers to use the units selectively. Because the units are self-contained they can also be used by subject specialists delivering the cross-curricular themes separately or by teams of teachers delivering them through long-block timetabling arrangements.
Each book contains at least 3 units on each of the themes which the NCC has identified as "essential parts of the whole curriculum": Economic and Industrial Understanding; Careers Education and Guidance (including self-awareness) Health Education; Education for Citizenship and Environmental Education.
The numerous activities within each 'Issues' pupils' book involve the use of all the cross-curricular skills: communication; numeracy; study skills; problem solving; personal and social skills and information technology.
