About this unit of learning

Each lesson addresses at least one learning outcome (2.7, 2.8, 2.9 – see p.2), and due to the nature of SPHE, there may also be opportunities to address additional learning outcomes in Strands 1, 3 and 4.

In line with the three cross-cutting elements that support effective teaching and learning in SPHE, these lessons support students to become more self-aware and aware of others, include opportunities for classroom dialogue, and prompt students to reflect.

Lessons are supported by complementary PowerPoint slides available below.
