      Article

      Teaching History feature
    How can we interest students in the world of ideas? How can we help them to see how important ideas were in shaping and reflecting the world of the Victorians?

  • Teaching History Curriculum Supplement 2014

      Changes to the secondary history curriculum
    Although modifications to the content of the National Curriculum for history have not been as dramatic as once feared, the effective revocation of the previous attainment target is radical indeed.

  • The Undergrowth of History

      Classic Pamphlet

  • Transforming historical understanding through scripted drama

      Teaching History article
    An article on scripted drama might seem an unlikely choice for an edition devoted to getting students talking.
