Review

If you are involved in delivering citizenship at secondary or post-16 level, or interested from a senior leadership or whole school perspective, then this book is essential reading. * Teaching Citizenship * Developing Citizens represents an invaluable addition to the fund of knowledge and wisdom around citizenship education. * Jan Newton (Adviser on Citizenship Education to the Minister of State) * For schools which want to move on from good to outstanding and for those which are clearly far from citizen-rich, this book is an invaluable handbook and guide and with a wealth of reference sources, organisations and websites. If you have got time and space for one book on citizenship, this is it. * Journal of the Centre for Supporting Comprehensive Schooling *
