This resource has been developed to use with the AQA PSHE Entry Level Certificate 3910. It contains worksheets for all of the outcomes that must be achieved by a candidate, at all three entry levels. The format of the worksheets closely follows that of the externally set examination sheets. The Examining body provides material and resources for Compulsory Unit 1 (Action Planning and Self-Review) and Compulsory Unit 2, (Drugs Education). For all other units the centre or the teacher must devise appropriate worksheets. This resource is designed to cover that need and provide the teacher with ready to use, easily photocopiable material to cover every required outcomes at all levels for Compulsory Unit 3 and Optional Units 4-9. Completed worksheets can be kept in the candidate's workfile and can then be presented as the essential evidence of achievement and accreditation at the end of the course, along with appropriate teacher written records, (which are included in this pack).

Although set up primarily to receive responses, these worksheets can be used in any way to test a candidates knowledge, understanding and ability. This pack is complete in itself, but it can be used in any combination with other appropriate resources, and it will integrate easily into any teaching scheme. Noting further needs to be added to these worksheets, they are ready for use 'as is'.

Teacher written assessment sheets are included to cover those activities such as role-play, group discussion, mock interviews etc where a student completed worksheet isn't practical.

Written especially to help young people in PSHE to acquire or reinforce the cross curricular skills of selecting, using and manipulating information this resource offers a variety of exercises which draw material from across the curriculum and present easy to understand ways of using, storing and handling the facts and content that is presented.

Originally written to develop and reinforce thinking and learning skills the package offers a number of useful exercises to promote thinking about what we do with information rather then continually getting young people to write more and more without ever teaching them how to select and synthesize, reject and store the vast amounts of material that they experience in the average day.

Ideal for PSHE lessons in the 11-16 age range, and where 'learning to learn skills' are being taught, or for other areas where young people are being supported in the acquisition of skills that will make their whole experience of learning much more thoughtful and orderly. This resource is drawn from a variety of curriculum areas for its examples and content, and offers several different approaches to learning styles.
