Denying children's rights -- 2. Fulfilling an obligation -- 3. Recognizing children as citizens -- 4. Educating for citizenship -- 5. Catching citizenship -- 6. Confronting the challenges -- App. United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child."In Empowering Children, R. Brian Howe and Katherine Covell assert that educating children about their basic rights is a necessary means not only of fulfilling a country's legal obligations, but also of advancing education about democratic principles and the practice of citizenship. The authors contend that children's rights education empowers children as persons and as rights-respecting citizens in democratic societies. Such education has a 'contagion effect' that brings about a general social knowledge on human rights and social responsibility." "Although there remain obstacles to the implementation of children's rights in many countries, Howe and Covell argue that reforming schools and enhancing teacher education are absolutely essential to the creation of a new culture of respect toward children as citizens. Their thorough and passionate work marks a significant advance in the field."--JacketChildren's rightsChildren's rightsStudy and teachingCitizenshipStudy and teachingChildren's rights.Children's rightsStudy and teaching.CitizenshipStudy and teaching.323.3/520971Howe Robert Brian1100925Covell KatherineMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780692803321Empowering children3731274UNINA
