Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Children urgently need to learn about controversy and approaches to managing conflict democratically and rationally. But evidence from teachers indicates that while they believe teaching about controversial issues is crucial, they find it challenging. They want to understand their own role and be equipped with effective approaches to sensitive and complex issues. This timely book will do precisely this. International in its vision, relevant, practical, up to date, it spans preschool through to Higher Education.
Each chapter dissects the nature of a specific controversy and offers practical strategies for helping students work through possible solutions. Whether describing work with five year olds about war and peace, for instance, or exploring racism with university students in a mainly white environment in Canada, the authors draw on their own experience. The key dilemmas and suggested approaches, relevant for teachers in all educational settings, cover
·educational policy and social justice
·teaching young children about war and global conflict
·using children’s literature and drama to explore controversial issues
·teaching about climate change and sustainability
·teaching about controversial issues with post 16 pupils
Cathie Holden and Hilary Claire are internationally known for their work on Citizenship Education. The contributors are all eminent academics and teachers from the UK and abroad working in diverse fields where the teaching of controversial issues is central.
