Overview

You’ll immerse yourself in the principles and practices that underpin history education, exploring how pupils develop historical thinking and how they learn to question and interpret the past. Through practical workshops, you’ll refine strategies for teaching historical sources, interpretations, and key concepts such as cause, consequence and change over time.

You’ll also develop approaches for teaching complex and sensitive topics, including the British Empire and the Holocaust, with confidence, care, and disciplinary rigour. Specialist sessions will enrich your learning, including a workshop at Holocaust Centre North, a guest talk from Wakefield Museums and Castles on using artefacts in the classroom, and a visit to The Piece Hall to explore local history and the Industrial Revolution.
