The Book

Practical Teaching Strategies for Secondary Schools

Developed from school visits around Britain and the different approaches taken by schools to teaching Citizenship

The Citizenship curriculum aims to help young people to participate more fully in society through the development of a range of relevant skills and knowledge. This book shows how a variety of teaching strategies can be used to teach citizenship skills across a range of curriculum subjects as well as in Citizenship lessons. Topics covered include:

  • Developing discussion
  • Thinking through debate
  • Addressing controversial issues
  • Investigating Citizenship
  • Learning through role play
  • Working in groups
  • Learning with simulations
  • Participation.

This lively and practical book will be invaluable to student teachers and their trainers, Citizenship co-ordinators in school and advisors across the country. It combines issues of pedagogy with real classroom experiences and demonstrates just how students learn from different teaching strategies.
