Transforming Social and Civic Education

How do we prepare young people to work for a better world?


The time is right for a new way of thinking about the curriculum of social and civic education. In this book, we present a global vision for education, one that can guide students in the pursuit of societal justice and harmony. Drawing from diverse philosophical and cultural traditions, including Confucianism and Indigenous philosophies, as well as empirical research, we introduce curriculum principles designed to motivate and inform students’ thoughtful and compassionate deliberation of public issues. 


This book is for classroom teachers, curriculum developers, education officials, and all those who are interested in preparing students for public life. These curriculum principles will resonate with educators around the world, in fields such as civics/citizenship, geography, history, and other social sciences, as well as those who emphasize human rights, sustainability, peace education, cultural diversity, moral and character education, and other societal concerns.

Barton and Ho call for a complete reorientation of social and civic education. They propose a curriculum that centers public action, an expanded view of deliberation, and an alloy of justice and harmony. The authors make a groundbreaking proposal here, just what’s needed to bring clarity of purpose, vivid examples, and a global perspective to education for democracy.

Walter C. Parker, Professor Emeritus, College of Education, University of Washington


Barton and Ho speak to social and civic education curriculum, undergirded by justice and harmony, and informed by intersecting world perspectives and philosophies. The international education community will find much relevant wisdom to address their own local concerns, yet this volume transcends the limitations of specific nations and contexts to emphasize our shared humanity and our common destinies.

A. Lin Goodwin, Professor and Dean, Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong.
