Opis

What is the role of citizenship? How can it be taught effectively? The fully updated third edition of 'Learning to Teach Citizenship in the Secondary School' is an essential resource for students training to teach citizenship, as well as for experienced teachers under whose remit citizenship is soon to fall. Written in a clear and practical way, yet underpinned by a sound theoretical background, it examines citizenship as a wide-ranging subject and an essential part of a number of different subjects.
