These four booklets form a scheme of work that can be used to inform the Active Citizenship element of the AQA GCSE Citizenship course. They can also be used as part of PSHE or to introduce the concept of Human Rights. The scheme covers:
What are Human Rights?
Human Rights case study: Period Poverty
Human Rights case study: Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay)
Other Human Rights abuses (Blood Diamonds, Flint MI)
Included are two careers schemes of work and several stand-alone lessons linked to employability. These will support your school in hitting the Gatsby benchmarks.
The first scheme included is an introduction to careers, covering several core topics including teamwork and communication.
The second is an NCFE scheme of work that allows pupils to achieve an NCFE certificate in employability. This covers topics such as creative thinking, adaptability and risk assessment.
There are also several individual lessons that can be used as evidence for AQA unit awards, or can be taught just to be taught. These lessons are:
“Curiosity in Learning”
“Resilience in Learning”
“Creativity in Learning”
“Building a CV”
“Entering the World of Work”
“Leading a Group”
These can be taught together or separately. Together these lessons could span a handful of terms.
I have also included the scheme of work document.

Here are two schemes of work on LGBTQ+, resources adapted from various LGBTQ+ charities and educators. Offered here for free and set out in two booklets.
When teaching the LGBTQ+ voices it is important to also stress the positive changes and the people who fought for those changes. It is always best not to teach about oppression in isolation.
