Sommario/riassunto

<span><span>Citizenship education is too often like that old saw about the weather: everyone talks about it but no one does anything about it. This book, however, showcases an array of innovative schools that </span><span style=""font-style:italic;"">are</span><span> doing something about it. And doing it well. These case studies demonstrate that schools do not have to choose between high academic standards and preparing their students for the responsibilities of citizenship. May these schools inspire educators everywhere to follow their lead!</span></span><br /><span><span> </span></span>
