‘What’s the Wisdom On’ films

Please note: the 'What's the Wisdom On' films have been produced principally for secondary school history teachers; however some of the content is transferrable to a primary setting. 
Secondary members can view the films here 

This series of recorded webinars is designed to support department meetings. ‘What’s the Wisdom On’ is a popular feature in our secondary journal Teaching History, providing teachers with an overview of the ‘story so far’ of many years of practice-based professional thinking about a particular aspect of history teaching.

In each of these webinars our experts provide a structured discussion about a different concept or issue covering teaching the story before you attempt the analysis, thinking about the different types of sources, evidence, argument and approaches; what often goes right and wrong, getting your enquiry question right, and using historical scholarship to inform your approach.
