Key Points

• Developing TS&PC may require a different set of teaching strategies.

• We need to have a clear understanding of TC&PC before we can introduce them to our pupils in a manageable way.

• The posters represent a range of possible starting points.• The ideas on the posters overlap.• These ideas are not new.• Every subject has a part to play in developing pupils’

mind-sets and dispositions for the infusion TS&PC.
