The Economics, Civics and Citizenship student book, CD ROM and homework book have been developed by a team of experienced classroom teachers to meet the specific requirements of the newly developed Victorian Essential Learning Standards ( VELS ) Stages 5 - 6. This full-coloured text, CD ROM and supporting student homework book allows the student to develop pathways through the three strands Physical, Personal and Social Learning, Discipline-based Learning and Interdisciplinary Learning, using a verity of resources from conventional text to ICT-based activities. These resources engage the student to achieve a level of economic and civic knowledge and understanding required to communicate and operate effectively in today's community. Values and attitudes are also explored to assist the student to make considered decisions about present and future financial, civic and citizenship matters. Students using this text will gain a solid foundation for the study of VCE Economics, Business Management and Legal Studies.
