Welcome to Wise Guys
This website (Wise Guys) was developed by
East Sussex Trading Standards Service in partnership with Brighton
& Hove and Milton
Keynes Trading Standards Services. Wise Guys aims to provide
teachers with a comprehensive resource to deliver parts of the citizenship/PSHE
curriculum to students in special schools.
The primary objective of the Wise Guys website
is to educate students with learning disabilities on life skills,
to empower them to become informed confident consumers.
This website can also be used as a tool to help
train students to take part in the Consumer Challenge Quiz. The
Consumer Challenge Quiz has been developed in Birmingham for children
with moderate learning difficulties, in conjunction with teachers
from three local Special Schools. It aims to help young people with
learning difficulties to become better informed and more confident
consumers. The questions are based on curriculum material and the
format is very interactive. The event is becoming more popular and
schools are invited to take part through their local Trading Standards
Service. For more information please contact your local Trading
Standards Service or see
www.birmingham.gov.uk.
The Wise Guys website contains comprehensive lessons
covering Key Stage 1-4. It has been designed to fit in with the
citizenship and PSHE curriculum.
The lesson covers subjects such as making choices,
rules, healthy living, keeping safe, what Trading Standards does
and the role of Europe. These are just a few of the subjects covered.
For more information please view the teaching resources.
Each lesson includes:
- Teaching intentions
- Teaching notes
- Student handout and
- Activities
Wise Guys has been developed with guidance from
teachers and students to ensure that it is suitable for use in and
outside of the classroom.
Di Lemma the monkey will help students understand
all the different subject areas by making the topics come to life.
The students can follow Di Lemma’s, dilemmas in the student
handouts contained in each lesson.
Wise Guys will help to educate young consumers
about their rights and responsibilities; it will assist them to
become empowered citizens and encourage them to contribute to society
in a positive way.
We will make regular checks to ensure that materials
and resources are updated, so that they are kept in line with changes
in legislation or the curriculum.
