This is a thorough exploration of the issues in teaching controversial issues in classroom, drawing on international case studies sharing teachers' and pupils' experiences. Paula Cowan and Henry Maitles provide a thorough exploration of current debates and controversies relating to teaching controversial issues in primary and secondary schools.

Topics covered include: What is the 'right' age to discuss controversial issues; The Citizenship Agenda; Discussing Iraq with school students; Teaching the Holocaust in the multicultural classroom; and, Islamophobia. International case studies provide fresh insights and valuable student and teacher feedback into the teaching of what many perceive as sensitive and difficult areas.

The supporting companion website provides more detailed additional information along with practical teaching resources for those looking to explore controversial issues in their own classroom. This title is an essential reading for beginning teachers and teachers of citizenship and history, and education studies students exploring the teaching of controversial issues in the classroom.
