Well the snow has stopped the school I work in from having a panel event with our MSP… but #ukpw will be going ahead with S1-S3 having lessons across social subjects and modern studies 😊

About to push the button - huge thanks to everyone who supported us develop a comprehensive and compelling response on Citizenship over the past 6 weeks #DFEcurriculumandassessmentreview ACT Department for Education

Really look forward to using this in the classroom. Slotting it into some work on morality in relationship to responsible consumerism!

Eeeeek…. Makes you think right?!

400+ students in my school have been involved in #UKPW. Our layered approach across 3 yr groups includes; What is Parliament? What’s the difference between Parliament and Government and then Devolution and UK Parliaments role in Scotland. #MakeSpaceforCitizenship

Always exciting when I get my copy of the ACT journal. This one focuses on #MakeSpaceforCitizenship ; Strengthening Citizenship for All. It happens to include a review I wrote on an awesome, enriching book from @AudreyOsler Highly recommend taking a look! 👀

New page for me over on bluesky: @mrsbshetland.bsky.social

A pleasure to be alongside so many expert colleagues across Europe as we set off the 2025 Year of digital citizenship education - together we tackle democratic backsliding and misinformation through criticality & active learning #dce2025 ⁦Council of Europe⁩ ⁦ACT⁩

We all know that schools are stretched. Until this is made compulsory too many children won’t have the opportunity to experience a subject that provides them essential life skills. Citizenship should be high quality and accessed by all students for their whole education.

Excited for this one! Do come along if you can

Make sure you check out the latest ACT Teaching Citizenship Journal; Issue 61. A great read and includes a review I wrote of a really thought provoking book.

A major democratic milestone: 16- and 17-year-olds will vote at the next UK general election. But for this to succeed, it must be matched by strong, statutory #CitizenshipEducation. Read ACT’s full statement: ow.ly/Tmxb50Wsrhb #Votesat16 #Democracy #CitizenshipEducation
