Ask CEdRIC has areas suitable for KS1- 4 and has been designed to fit in with the Citizenship curriculum and the National Consumer Education Partnership framework (www.ncep.org.uk/pages/framework.htm).
The site provides you with ready-made:
- Teaching Plans
- Information about how each unit fits into the Citizenship curriculum
- Teaching Notes
- Student Worksheets
- Practical Activities
- Class and Schools Projects
The site also provides useful links other related sites which provide material and resources that will support teaching in the classroom.
Materials and resources are regularly updated to keep abreast of any changes to legislation, working practice or the Citizenship syllabus.
