Citizenship

Description

In a survey of best citizenship studies from around the world, the key findings revealed that how teachers talk with each other and how they talk with students is a central part of citizenship education across schools.Dr Ruth Deakin Crick of Bristol University, conducted a review of citizenship research where 301 studies into the effectiveness of citizenship teaching were assessed, and a shortlist of 14 were analysed in detail. Good citizenship education needs a learner-centred culture meaning a shift of power where teachers are facilitators. Tim Small who previously worked as a headteacher has written a summary of the research to help make a difference to teachers practice.
