Research methods
Teachers, student teachers and teacher educators in Manchester participated in online workshops where they gained expertise from international experts.
They contributed their experiences and expertise - together with those of teachers in Portugal and Spain - to inform the development of practical resources.
The project team then identified any enabling factors and challenges, informing them of policy recommendations.
Research outputs
As a result of the project, a policy report has been produced, examining the level of integration of CDC in initial primary teacher education policy and practice in the countries of partner institutions. The report also provides recommendations to embed CDC in initial primary education programmes.

The project has also facilitated the development of a range of practical resources, such as the ‘Promoting Democracy in the Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers’ Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
Teaching resources - for teachers, student teachers, teacher educators, and policymakers - have also been produced. You can read and download the resource document in English, Portuguese and Spanish:
