I hope you’re all having a good week! I know that the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum has been something as an Academy we’ve been working really hard on, and as such, for this next edition of bitesize research, I was interested to read about some research published by the Institute of Education about the role of young people’s voices in their relationships and sex education.
Objectives: To understand what young people nationally are saying about RSE
Summary:
The research found that young people specifically would like to have more learning about relationships and sex education in their schools
Many young people who took part in this research believed that currently, RSE in their schools was patchy, awkward and lacking in what students actually wanted to know.
The research found that young people wanted more adults to educate themselves about young people’s lives and experiences, as well as for teachers to have resources and support to enable them to feel more confident in what they are teaching.
The research concludes that student-voice should be an ongoing part of curriculum design in RSE.
How does this impact me and my practice?: Some reflections arising from this that might be helpful to consider are:
How confident do I feel in delivering RSE topics? What do I need support with? How does that look?
How could we appropriately but meaningfully take some student voice about RSE?
Please do get in touch if you would like to talk further about this - I’d love to hear from you!
