Taking the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a starting point, the authors outline a series of teaching and learning approaches that are values-informed, aligned with children's rights and focused on quality learning. They address the question of what implications follow for teaching in schools if the starting point is that children are rights holders and teachers are duty bearers.

Dr Jerome and Professor Starkey argue that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child provides widely agreed standards and a language that children and educators can use to navigate competing cultures of accountability. These principles foreground education鈥檚 purpose as a social process to meet the needs and challenges of individuals and communities.

It draws on the work of eminent educational theorists to provide an accessible framework that can guide the development of child rights education.
