ABSTRACT
Sport Education has been recognised internationally as offering rich potential for the development of citizenship and leadership. Specifically, a number of ‘citizenship issues’ (of behaviour, attitudes, values, rules and traditions) have been addressed in active and ‘authentic’ ways via Sport Education and adaptations of it (see Chapter 1). In focusing attention upon matters of fair play, respect for all participants, respect for all abilities, the development of leadership and social skills, and in the challenges that it presents to students to work collaboratively, Sport Education seems an important vehicle for citizenship education.
