Breaks new ground in our understanding of the development of social consciousness and social responsibility in young people and the educational practices that promote this development.This book breaks new ground in our understanding of the development of social consciousness and social responsibility in young people and the educational practices that promote this development. Berman shows that children's awareness of the social and political world emerges far earlier and their social and moral abilities are more advanced than we thought. Drawing on the research literature in such fields as moral development, citizenship education, political socialization, prosocial development, and psychosocial development, Berman provides educators and researchers with the developmental understandings and instructional strategies necessary to enable students to become active, caring, and responsible members of our social and political community.

"This is not another eclectic survey of school programs aimed at children becoming caring, responsible people. Shelley Berman is deeply knowledgeable about relevant theory, research, and practice, and is able to penetrate to the heart of the matter. He gives us a powerful framework for understanding children's development, and he uses it unerringly to identify the educational approaches that prepare children to live out their roles with integrity and compassion. This work makes an important contribution to the field of social and ethical development." — Eric Schaps, President, Developmental Studies Center"I believe this book pushes the field of educational and developmental psychology to a new level. It addresses some of the most pressing issues of our time. The importance of the development of a socially responsible citizenry capable of working effectively toward the common good cannot be underestimated in a society torn by privatism and individualism as is ours." — Mary Field Belenky, University of Vermont, co-author of Women's Ways of Knowing"Berman pushes us to consider how more than service opportunities or isolated courses in contemporary issues will be needed if students are to become engaged citizens. In doing so, he lays the groundwork for a movement to reclaim the civic purposes that once undergirded American education. Achieving this end will require a transformation of curriculum, instruction, and school structures aimed at incorporating multiple perspectives, providing more room for student voices, and supporting the formation of interactive school communities in which students feel cared for and influential." — Gregory Smith, Lewis and Clark College, author of Education and the Environment: Learning to Live with Limits
