Reviews / Votes
'This is an exhaustive study done with the needs of teachers in mind and it provides the starting point for effective and accurate inclusion of citizenship within the RE curriculum.'- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE
'It is, clearly, a text book to service initial teacher education but also a map of significant debates that all teachers of the subject need to be aware of and position themselves within to ground the approach taken to teaching the subject.'
- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE
'This book is an impressive source of information as well as one of practical advice, in outline upon which addressing citizenship in religious education can be systematically served. Each chapter (11 in total) offers an introduction, a historical background, relevant legal documentation concisely presented (conventions, for example), planning notes covering skills and attitudes under attainment targets (QCA), and identification of resources, especially websites.'
- Clive Erricker, County Inspector for RE
