How do you broach family values with seven year olds? Can you help young children understand racism? Can you avoid bringing your own prejudices into the classroom? Talking effectively about controversial issues with young children is a challenge facing every primary school teacher. "Tackling Controversial Issues" provides teachers with support and guidance as you engage with the more tricky questions and topics you and your pupils encounter. Illuminated with case studies and examples of how teachers and children have confronted issues together, this book helps you understand your own perspectives and provides fresh approaches for the primary classroom. It considers how best to work with parents and carers, whole-school policies for tackling issues, and ideas for circle time, setting up international links, school councils and buddying systems. The range of challenging topics covered includes: family values; racism in mono and multi-cultural settings; democracy and citizenship; the environment and sustainability; consumerism, finances and media advertising; gender, health and identity; and, grief and loss.
For all student and practising primary teachers, "Tackling Controversial Issues" provides much needed support as you help your learners face complicated ideas, find their voice and get involved in the issues that they feel make a difference.
