The
Parentalk Schools Pack
An exciting new resource for secondary school teachers
- a must for every teacher of PSHE.
There is lots of information out there on how to make a baby and
how not to make a baby, but when it comes to the actual reality
of caring for a child as it moves from the baby years, to childhood,
to the teenage years and beyond, there remains relatively little
resource material for schools.
|
| |
| The Parentalk Schools Pack
aims to fill this important gap by educating young people in good
parenting skills. It has been written for Year 10 and 11 pupils and
is designed to meet the requirements of the PSHE curriculum in Key
Stage 4 which states 'pupils should be taught about the role and responsibilities
of a parent, and the qualities of good parenting and its value to
family life' (DFES, Teachernet, PSHE Curriculum, Key Stage 4). |

The 8 ready-made, stand-alone sessions are easy to use, interactive
and discussion based and along with over 30 photocopiable activity
sheets will reduce lesson preparation time for teachers.
From the importance of love and self-esteem to communication issues
and discipline, this resource covers all the important issues that
will help teenagers, whenever the time comes, to become not a perfect
parent but a successful mum or dad.
The Parentalk Schools Pack is available as a PDF download to print
and photocopy.

"Our hope is that this resource will
give us better equipped parents in the future, not just more
educated children today."
Steve Chalke, Parentalk Founding Director
"This is a fantastic resource which
makes a serious and important subject accessible and thought-provoking
for all teenagers."
Olivia Davies, PSHE teacher

"Parents have the biggest single
influence on their children's lives and are their children's prime
educators… That means parents supporting their child and respecting
education, and correspondingly, teachers valuing parents and encouraging
them to be involved."
