Routledge Balancing Acts in PSHE - Routledge Teacher's Practical Guide

Balancing Acts in Personal, Social and Health Education is a practical resource for teachers implementing active learning methods and curriculum coordinators overseeing PSHE programmes. Originally published in 1988 and revived by Routledge, this guide explores the theoretical and practical foundations of PSHE education through hands-on exercises and reflective activities. The book presents four distinct models of PSHE delivery, equipping educators with frameworks to identify and distinguish different pedagogical approaches in their own classrooms. Teachers will find concrete strategies for balancing personal and social values within their curricula, whilst gaining deeper understanding of how PSHE connects to broader educational objectives. Whether you are beginning to introduce active learning methods or developing staff training programmes, this Routledge title offers structured guidance for translating PSHE principles into classroom practice. The book serves both individual educators and those with coordination responsibilities, making it valuable for department planning and professional development initiatives across schools.
