The unit is the first of two units which aim to equip teachers to take and develop curriculum leadership roles in Citizenship in secondary schools and post-16 education settings. This 10-credit unit is principally concerned with developing participants&� knowledge and understanding of Citizenship as a school subject and of curriculum leadership and management, and with analysing their school&�s provision for Citizenship prior to undertaking school-based action research to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and leadership of Citizenship education in their own institutions. Together with the second unit, (The Teaching of Citizenship: School Development), it provides the basis for meeting DfES standards for the teaching of Citizenship involving M level study carrying a total of 30 credits.
