'Ralph Leighton has produced a passionately written, thoroughly engaging book which will be of interest and value to all those involved in citizenship education. Reaching back to the roots of radical education and looking forward to what he sees as the form of citizenship education necessary to celebrate and bring into being a genuinely democratic society, this book will challenge experienced and beginning professionals.' (Ian Davies, Professor of Education, University of York)

Reaching back to the roots of radical education and looking forward to what he sees as the form of citizenship education necessary to celebrate and bring into being a genuinely democratic society, this book will challenge experienced and beginning professionals.' Ian Davies, Professor of Education, University of York, UK ‘In this lively and provocative work, Ralph Leighton reminds us of the importance of an often neglected part of the national curriculum. Teachers tasked with the challenge of teaching democratic citizenship will profit from engaging with this excellent book. Teaching Citizenship Education also makes an informed contribution to the growing academic debate on the purpose of citizenship education and its role in sustaining a healthy democracy.' Keith Faulks, Head of the School of Education and Social Science, University of Central Lancashire, UK
