Life Matters - New!
A board game for young people aged 13-19 years old
about life's opportunities, risks and challenges |
|
Life Matters is an engaging and interesting way for young people to
learn about sexual health, drug, alcohol and tobacco issues. Up to
twelve people can play the game at one time. It is an enjoyable way of
focusing young people on drug, alcohol and sex and relationship issues.
The game throws up the unexpected, just like life. It takes knowledge
and sound decision making to become a winner. With a role of the dice
and an unlucky card everything can change.

‘Excellent, clear, well thought out activities.
Considerably reduces unnecessary time spent on planning’
Teacher

A wonderful resource that has been used in our children's centre in their weekend clubs. The manual has been used primarily with 10 to 13 year olds and it has tackled issues such as bullying, decision-making, confidence building, healthy living, power of money and co-operation. All the issues that have been tackled are crucial in re-building the self-confidence and the physiological approach to education for the pre-secondary and secondary school children.

The quality of this pack is such that obtaining support across Wales for its translation was easy and we are very grateful to all the personnel who backed this venture and thereby tipped the balance in getting it funded, and to the Welsh Assembly Government for making the funds available. The pack speaks for itself - when I present it to teachers on the training days they fall on it with delight. It not only provides a clear skeleton of lessons under four topic headings, (each lesson with a one sentence descriptor so that they know what is what) but each lesson has between 6 and 8 additional ideas for developing the topic. The lesson objectives are there at the top of the page; each lesson has a word box and a list of poems and stories to support the theme and so teachers immediately understand how this will fit into their everyday teaching.
The pack is so flexible that matching it to the Welsh PSE Framework is not an issue. Many schools now use it as the basis for planning their PSE provision across the two Key Stages, needing only to identify where the subject links are and what additional specific material they will weave into the mix, such as the main areas of health education and some more specific work around citizenship and the environment. The Tacade pack provides the starting point for all these topics and give teachers confidence to plan and carry out a really exciting programme.

ASK
– Drug education materials for true mixed abilities
|
|
|
The materials are intended for
use with 11-14 year old students. They are particularly targeted
at those students with learning difficulties, who may well be
the more vulnerable and at risk young people.
The ASK materials (Attitudes, Skills
and Knowledge) contain 49 trigger sheets each
of which may form the basis for a session on a particular aspect
of drug education.

'Teachers rated this resource positively ... it was felt to
be useful for a wide range of age groups and activities or the
basis for a lesson at school'
Research Works Limited Evaluation Report
|
Independent Pre-testing and Trialling:
The findings from this qualitative pre-testing/trialling indicated that teachers rated this resource positively. The majority of respondents felt the resource had a range of core strengths which led them to view the resource as 'very usable' in PSHE lessons. These views were further supported when the resource was tested within the classroom situation.
'ASK' was highlighted as an instant accessible and versatile resource for both teachers and pupils. These were key strengths. The trigger sheets format was rated as ideal for the variety of PSHE classes and teaching situations. Equally less confident teachers felt more secure with the trigger sheet approach. Coverage of specific drug topics and the range of exercises and approaches employed was considered comprehensive. The layout, design clarity of language and tone were also positively rated. In practice, pupils also enjoyed using the resource.
The resource structure, 'ASK', was praised. Equally the range of trigger sheets enhanced the potential usage of the resource as a regular element within drug education classes. Overall, the resource was felt to be useful for a wide range of age groups and abilities within mainstream education.
