Teaching Citizenship in Primary Schools by Hilary Claire

Teaching Citizenship in Primary Schools by Hilary Claire

This title provides a clear rationale and overview of citizenship education in primary schools, from early years to Y6. It helps trainee teachers understand how to incorporate the concepts and processes of citizenship in their learning objectives and outcomes, and how to monitor and evaluate them. There are also activities and ideas for use in the primary classroom, some for stand-alone citizenship work, and others integrating citizenship with the mainstream curriculum.

"Excellent! A clear overview of what citizenship actually is and ideas for activities which show real appreciation of classroom practice" (Senior Lecturer, University of Winchester)
