My Way! Teaching Resources

Did you know that one in every five children has learning challenges?

The MyWay! campaign by First News aims to raise awareness about this fact and dispel the myth that these children are less intelligent and show that they can succeed. As My Way! Ambassador, Henry Winkler says:

“Every child has brilliance inside them. Their job is to dig it out and give it to the world.”

First News has created two set of teaching resources to support teachers with the MyWay! campaign in schools. These PSHE resources have been produced to promote inclusion and friendship and help pupils to overcome learning challenges and reach their full potential, whatever their needs.
