About 2/2: citizED is organised principally around teacher education in primary, secondary, cross curricular, post 16 and community involvement contexts with outputs in the form of conferences, seminars, workshops, research papers and practical resources for teaching.
citizED is promoting a number of specific research initiatives, including work on assessment in teacher education for citizenship.
An international journal of citizenship and teacher education was launched by citizED in July 2005. citizED is working in partnership with a wide variety of individuals and organisations including the Association for Citizenship Teaching (ACT).
We have recently published a brochure which details our success and achievements and also raises issues for our future work as a Citizenship association in higher education. This brochure, in PDF format, 21 pages, is available for download.
