‘Move Me On’ is a ‘problem page’ for those involved in training or mentoring new history teachers. Each one includes a description of a difficulty experienced by a trainee teacher and detailed advice from two experienced mentors or teacher educators about how to respond. 

This collection of Move-Me-On ‘problem pages’ offers advice about problems related both to substantive historical knowledge (i.e. history trainees’ own subject knowledge and their teaching of substantive content and concepts) and to trainees’ understanding and teaching of the second-order concepts that underpin the subject. (These are concepts such as cause and consequence, change and continuity, significance and similarity and difference). It also includes concerns related to designing and teaching historical enquiries (including the use of sources as evidence) and helping students to understand how and why different historical interpretations arise.
