Five C Educator Center
Teach the Framework With Depth and Care
A dedicated home for lecturers, teachers, researchers, facilitators, schools, universities, civic programs, and professional learning communities.
Where the book fits
One framework. Many disciplines.
The Five C Theory can support courses and programs examining citizenship, governance, culture, institutions, leadership, ethics, development, and Sierra Leonean public life. It is designed to encourage analysis rather than party alignment.
- African studies
- Citizenship and civic education
- Governance and public administration
- Political science
- Sociology and social change
- Development studies
- Ethics, leadership, and public service
- Diaspora and Sierra Leone studies
