  4. Criteria • Knowledge and understanding about becoming informed citizens, addresses issues such as legal and human rights, the criminal justice system, government and the electoral system, public services, voluntary groups, the media, diversity, respect and understanding, conflict resolution, and the world as a global community, including the role of the European Union, the Commonwealth and the United Nations. • Skills of participation and responsible action encourage pupils to help establish and take part responsibly in both school and community-based activities, and to reflect on the process of participating. They also have to be able to think about and explain views that are not their own. • Skills of enquiry and communication seek to develop pupils’ ability to think about, investigate and analyse citizenship issues and to communicate their ideas in a range of ways.

  5. Very important that…. ‘Teaching should ensure that knowledge and understanding about becoming informed citizensare acquired and applied when developing skills of enquiry and communication, and participation and responsible action.’

  6. Evaluating teaching… judge… • - a teacher’s subject knowledge and understanding; • - planning; • - a teacher’s ability to challenge and inspire; • - teaching methods; • - classroom management including behaviour management; • - the use of resources; • - the use of assessment information/feedback; • - the use of homework; and, very importantly, • - whether the teaching meets the needs of all pupils.

  7. Judging teaching and learning • View the lesson and make brief notes on the quality of teaching and learning. • After you have completed this, compare your findings. • Then compare them with what the teacher thought. This lesson deals with controversial issues. Add brief comments on the questions given. • Then compare them with what the teacher thought. • Grade the lesson (VG, G, A, P) for CITIZENSHIP teaching
