Secondary History Challenge Group 2023-24 (Webinar)
14 May and 20 June 2024
Keyword Search: History Challenge 2023
This course is designed to develop and support teachers in addressing a current challenge for history leaders and teachers. The course sessions provide current research and examples of practice along with the guidance and support of Sarah Herrity, HIAS Secondary History advisor and Tamsin Leyman History leader of Wildern History SCITT and HA Fellow to impact your planning and practice. This year focuses on teaching how historians work across the curriculum to build pupil’s knowledge of how particular historians work with particular sources to establish claims.
The course addresses the weakness in history teaching highlighted in the 2023 Ofsted history subject report. The report identified that the, ‘scope of the disciplinary knowledge that leaders intended pupils to learn was limited’ in most schools’ including ‘how historians study the past and construct accounts’. In particular, ‘pupil’s understanding of historical enquiry is not secure in many schools’. While examples of historians and how they had studied an aspect of the past were being taught, Ofsted reported that in some schools, ‘teachers did not accurately represent the ways that historians constructed their accounts’
