Have your say in how Citizenship Teacher develops

The times they are a-changing ...

As you probably know, the Citizenship Teacher site has been a joint project between Teachit, Collins Education and ACT, with video clips from Sky News. This project has now come to an end and so here at Teachit we'd love to have your input. We're keen to hear:

  • what you like about the Citizenship Teacher site (e.g. complete lessons, videos, interactive 'whizzy things' ...)
  • what else you'd like to see on the site (e.g. shorter worksheets, teaching ideas, authentic news articles ...)
  • whether you make your own Citizenship resources and might like to contribute them.

Please email us with your ideas – we'd love to hear from you.
