Education for Citizenship: Ideas into Action

'This handbook will clearly be of educational help and guidance as well as offering ideas to those still in the dark as to what citizenship education is all about.' - Matthew Wilson, Teaching Geography'This practical handbook provides a useful resource for teachers involved with citizenship education at key stages 2 and 3. The authors are leading authorities in this area and the list of references and supporting publications indicates the depth of their thinking ... Geography specialists will find the sections on the community, global citizenship and human rights and enviromental issues particularly relevant.' - Stephen Scoffham, Primary Geographer'This is an invaluable resource and a welcome addition to developing a strong and growing pedagogical base for citizenship education. Indeed, it should be on every school's shelf and be regularly picked up and thumbed for ideas and inspiration by teachers and curriculum co-ordinators, as well as by those involved in teacher education.' - David Kerr, Teaching Citizenship' Clough and Holden's new book is particularly helpful for teachers unclear about the boundaries between PSHE and Citizenship and what the new subject "Citizenship" might entail ... The text is jargon-free, teacher-friendly and well laid out, and the activities come from a variety of subject areas, providing a dynamic model of permeation of citizenship. All the resources are provided for simulation games, quizzes, debates - bust teachers will not have to produce their own at home ... it is very good value, operating at several levels. I recommend it highly.' - Hilary Claire, Cambridge Journal of Education
