Teaching History

Teaching History: A Practical Guide for Secondary School Teachers offers educators a clear and concise guide to navigating the unique challenges of history education. This book provides a balanced approach, combining practical strategies with thoughtful insights into the nature of historical thinking, helping teachers develop both their understanding of the subject and their instructional techniques.

Grounded in current research and real-world experience, this resource covers essential topics from unit planning and assessment design to working with historical scholarship and sources. While invaluable for early-career teachers, it will be equally beneficial to veterans seeking a fresh overview of the curricular landscape in the context of history education. By emphasising the 'bifocal' nature of history teaching - balancing historical and instructional thinking - this book equips teachers with the tools they need to create engaging, effective and meaningful history classes.
