This engaging title explains the need for and purpose of rules in
different settings, including in a classroom, at school, and in a
community. Young readers will discover how rules and laws keep
people safe and help make sure people are treated fairly. Familiar
laws are introduced with an explanation of who makes them and why
they are important. Teacher's guide available.
This edited book provides new research highlighting philosophical
traditions, emerging perceptions, and the situated practice of
global citizenship education (GCE) in Asian societies. The book
includes chapters that provide: 1) conceptions and frameworks of
GCE in Asian societies; 2) analyses of contexts, policies, and
curricula that influence GCE reform efforts in Asia; and 3) studies
of students' and teachers' experiences of GCE in schools in
different Asian contexts. While much citizenship education has
focused on constructions and enactments of GCE in Western
societies, this volume re-centers investigations of GCE amid Asian
contexts, identities, and practices. In doing so, the contributors
to this volume give voice to scholarship grounded in Asia, and the
book provides a platform for sharing different approaches,
strategies, and research across Asian societies. As nations grapple
with how to prepare young citizens to face issues confronting our
world, this book expands visions of how GCE might be
conceptualized, contextualized, and taught; and how innovative
curriculum initiatives and pedagogies can be developed and enacted.
