For Teachers

This section is designed to assist teachers in teaching about Local Government. Here you will find ideas for teaching strategies, units of work, building partnerships with local Councils and fact sheets about Local Government. The SA Case Study Schools illustrate how the curriculum can 'come alive' when learning is pursued in community settings and about issues over which students can have some influence. Local Government can provide the examples, the resources and the personnel to illustrate and extend the curriculum.
