  There is a strong emphasis on personal and social education courses in today's schools. A national inspector with special responsibility for this area has just been appointed, and PSE is at the heart of many of the new educational developments going on now. Concerned with the personal and social education courses and initiatives in schools, this book describes a number of possible ways of establishing PSE, and explains the history, rationale and range of provision of current options. It draws attention to any evaluation that has taken place, and, most importantly, seeks to stimulate debate by identifying sources of difficulty and controversy in a clear, non-technical way. Topics covered include: personal and social education courses; active tutorial work; the pupil self-recording option; personal assessment - pupil profiles and records of personal achievement; political education and pupil induction and transfer to secondary school.
