Drugs and alcohol: Tackling drugs

The Guardian reproduce a Teachers TV programme on drug education:

This programme focuses on Sally George, head of PSHE at Shoeburyness High School in Essex, as she takes a Year 8 drug awareness class. Sally has devised a range of resources for her 100-minute lessons to engage students of all abilities. She starts with some knowledge-based activities: a true/false quiz, a sorting game and a circle-time debate. But in lessons like these, difficult questions crop up.

What I liked was the needs assessment, the interaction and the enthusiasm that Sally brings to teaching – which rubs off on the pupils.
