Citizenship Education is now a compulsory part of the secondary school curriculum in England and Wales. It is also being incorporated into the curriculum in many schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Everyone has questions.

• What do I teach?
• Who should be teaching it?
• What is the best way to teach it?
• What's the agenda?
• Whose values do we teach?
• Should there be dedicated lessons each week, with special citizenship activities?
• Should citizenship be integrated throughout the whole curriculum?

The Exploring Citizenship series aims to answer these questions. This series is for:

• Teachers responsible for citizenship education
• Those planning resources for citizenship
• Teacher trainers
• Teachers in training

Beginning with deep questions about human beings and human society, pupils and teachers are encouraged to explore together what it means to be a good citizen. Each book introduces key themes underlying community life and then points teachers to the practical means by which these can be explored across the curriculum.
