citizenship and bring its concepts into all their educational practice,
through every subject area, into assemblies and across the whole school.

the existing curriculum which promotes social justice and equity.
The book should be a valuable tool for classroom teachers, head teachers,
teacher educators, student teachers, home school educators, non-teaching
staff, governors and parents.
This handbook is also ideal for PSHE co-ordinators and members of staff
who are interested in finding out how to include a citizenship perspective
in their teaching. The book is packed with discussion points, issues,
ideas and approaches for practical citizenship teaching.
