Manchester Healthy Schools is partnering with The Guardian Foundation's NewsWise to bring you a fully-funded training on developing news literacy skills specifically designed for teachers of PSHE.
This in-depth CPD focuses on how to talk to children about the news and developing their news literacy skills with a PSHE focus. Developed by The Guardian Foundation, the PSHE Association and the National Literacy Trust. Led by news literacy specialists from The Guardian Foundation.
This online training covers:
- The ways in which news and media can affect children’s wellbeing
- Strategies and activities to help support children's wellbeing when news feels overwhelming
- An in-depth exploration of a selection of our resources and activities from our PSHE lessons which you can take straight to the classroom, with guidance and tips to get the most out of these with your pupils
NewsWise resources are aimed at children aged 7- to-11, but the core skills apply to every age group and therefore we recommend this training for teachers of KS2 and KS3. The resources and activities can be adapted for the year group you teach.
