This Personal, Social and Community Health unit provides excellent opportunities for cross-curricular integration. Look for ways to meaningfully integrate the content of the unit with other learning areas e.g. Literacy and Drama.
Prior to commencing the unit, develop a bullying and resilience display in the classroom. Display posters, word wall vocabulary and learning goals that the students will engage with throughout the unit to stimulate their learning. For examples of additional teaching resources to display in your classroom, browse the Bullying collection on the Teach Starter website.
Some of the materials required for the unit lessons may need to be sourced prior to teaching. For this reason, it is advised that teachers browse through all lessons before commencing the unit.
