What does it mean to get better at history, and how should we explain this to parents? How do we use assessment to help our children get better at history? This section offers advice on progression in history. History education is not necessarily a linear process. Perhaps developing a greater independence in studying, in asking perspective questions, in reading their own conclusions based on the evidence are a sign of getting better. We have the freedom to develop our own assessment regime, and this section offers some ideas to help do this.
