ABSTRACT

Managing the whole-school strategy for citizenship education means ensuring that there are resources, people and systems to realize the vision and objectives that have been set for citizenship education. This means managing three related but overlapping aspects of school life: 1) learning (the taught curriculum); 2) behaviour and relationships within the school (the pastoral curriculum); and 3) engagement with the school’s external communities. In this sense a school comprises three communities: learners, members of the school community (school citizens) and members of the wider community (community citizens).
