Learning to Teach Citizenship in the Secondary School

Citizenship has been added to the National Curriculum. It is a wide-ranging subject that can be taught in its own right, or through other curriculum subjects and cross-curricular activities. This text is intended for students training to teach citizenship as a first or second subject, and it should also be immensely helpful to experienced teachers who have opted to take on responsibility for this exciting subject. Written in a clear and practical way, yet underpinned by a theoretical background, the book covers key themes in citizenship education. With key objectives and tasks for each chapter, this book will help teachers to improve their understanding of citizenship education and to help their pupils understand their roles as citizens. It may be read in conjunction with the companion core textbook, "Learning to Teach in the Secondary School".
