Progression in Personal Development and Mutual Understanding*EVERY SCHOOL A GOOD SCHOOL: A Policy for School Improvement (DE2009) has at its core the central aim of promoting schools which enableall children to fulfil their potential. A key element in achieving thisvision involves removing the barriers to learning which can exist for somany children. A strong focus on Personal Development and MutualUnderstanding (PD&MU) can help to build pupils’ resilience to deal withchallenges and to provide the foundations on which lifelong learning can bebuilt.‘Progress in Personal Development and Mutual Understanding’ is intendedto provide support and guidance for teachers and curriculum leadersdelivering the PD&MU area of learning within the Northern IrelandCurriculum. It contains suggestions for activities in the two strands of thePD&MU framework: ‘Personal Understanding and Health ‘and ‘MutualUnderstanding in the Local and Wider Community’.PD&MU places the child at the centre of the curriculum and throughengagement in a broad range of caught and taught activities seeks to equipand prepare young people for life, work and the challenges of being anadult in an increasingly complex society.The resource is organised into the nine themes of the PD&MU area oflearning, which have been sub-divided into Foundation Stage, Key Stage1 and Key Stage 2. Each theme relates to the statement of minimumrequirement for that key stage. Suggested learning intentions and samplelearning activities are provided as a guide to teachers as they plan anappropriate programme to deliver the statutory requirements of PD&MU intheir classrooms.The suggested activities lend themselves to both individual and grouplearning tasks, and as such they provide suitable opportunities for thedevelopment of a range of Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities.Where this is appropriate, reference has been made to the relevant strandsof the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities framework (a mapping gridis provided at the end of this document in Appendix 1).The progression grid aims to give schools a whole school overview, whichcan assist curriculum leaders to successfully implement PD&MU inYears 1 to 7, and also to be used as a tool for monitoring and evaluatingprogression throughout the school.Acknowledgements:• Alison Thompson- CCEA• Kathryn Edgar- CCEA• Carol Weatherall- BELB• Daphne Wilson- NEELB• Dolores Davidson- NEELB• Jayne Simms- SELB• Debbie Trainor- SEELB• Oonagh McNelis- WELB• Carol McHugh- WELB
