“Is it gold enough?” That’s the one question I ask when reviewing any product.

Classrooms deserve the best and as a minimum we need to be providing students with 18 carat gold resources and experiences.

But if you want to invest in real quality and you are looking for a 22 carat teaching resources for Key Stage 3 PSHE then you’d be hard-pressed to find better than Hodder Education’s Explore PSHE for Key Stage 3, now on their exciting new digital learning platform, Boost.

Boost is billed as the next generation in digital learning and it’s easy to see why as it is quality through and through and designed to support a personalised learning experience.

The Boost platform offers a digital student book and specialist teaching, learning and assessment resources that have been impressively coordinated.

Accessed through a simple to navigate dashboard, Boost is perfectly prepared for teaching and learning in any scenario – blended learning, hybrid or distance learning.

The platform is clean, uncluttered and very user-friendly and searching for what you need is a doddle too.

For a more flexible, interactive PSHE curriculum, teachers can integrate their own resources using the strikingly comprehensive and editable course plans or hit the ground running with pre-packaged high-quality content, perfect for both experienced PSHE leads and for non-specialists.

These link to an arsenal of active resources which include over 70 lesson plans and teacher guidance, as well as colourful and accessible PowerPoints to accompany each lesson.
