By teaching children different themes of citizenship, you can help them learn how to positively contribute to their community. Be sure to focus on empathy, respect, compassion, diversity, and inclusion as you explore themes of citizenships with your class. Relate these themes to your students’ lives to help them understand what a good citizen means. Continue reading “How to Teach Citizenship in the Elementary School Classroom”
