How it works
- Persona Life Skills is a web-based e-learning platform for secondary schools and colleges.
- Students each need a device – or one between two – to use the platform, either in class or online home learning.
- When you request a free trial, we will first give you access to our demo school site, and then set up a new account for your school/college. You will become the Admin for your school/college (we can also create other Admin accounts on request).
- You must sign in and get started within two weeks to activate your free trial.
- As Admin, you have full Teacher access, and you can also create Student and Teacher accounts, and Groups (eg. classes or tutor groups).
- The curriculum is made up of an Archipelago of learning Islands (modules), each equivalent to a 45-60 min lesson.
- The curriculum is normally delivered in PSHE lessons or tutor group sessions (avg. nine to 12 lessons per year for Year 9 to 13/Grade 8 to 12), or during collapsed timetable days.
- The free trial includes access to the first three ‘Must-see’ Islands, where students are introduced to the concept of personality styles and start to explore their own Persona.
- At any time during the free trial you may confirm your subscription, giving your students full access to all available Islands.
