Citizenship has been a compulsory element of the National curriculum since 2002 in recognition of its invaluable contribution to young people's education. Recent debate over content, aims and methodology by education specialists has lead to the rapid growth of the subject and consequently, a high demand for Citizenship Education Specialists.
You will learn from some of the best practitioners in the field, and with their support, you will learn how to become an effective practitioner yourself. The programme will cover all areas of the National Curriculum for Citizenship, and will also address national testing, extra curricular learning opportunities and how to enhance your own professional development.
