Citizenship is the quality of a person’s response to membership in a community. Being a citizen doesn’t automatically make you a good citizen, which is why teaching citizenship to elementary students is so important. By teaching children different themes of citizenship, you can help them learn how to positively contribute to their community.

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”
