A Practical Guide to Teaching History in the Secondary School offers comprehensive advice, inspiration and a wide range of tried and tested approaches to help you find success in the secondary history classroom. Covering all aspects of history teaching, it is designed for you to dip in and out of and to enable you to focus on specific areas of teaching, your programme, or pupils' learning.

This completely revised edition has been rewritten with new chapters reflecting recent work into curriculum thought, different types of historical knowledge, designing enquiry questions and decolonising the curriculum. Emphasising the importance of pedagogy, detailed subject knowledge, a well-informed and diverse curriculum, evidence-informed practice, and a focus on building long-term student understanding in the subject, the chapters cover:

• Curriculum design
• Teaching causation and consequence
• Teaching interpretation and significance
• Using evidence
• Delivering a more inclusive and representative history curriculum
• Progress and assessment

Packed with ideas, resources, practical teaching activities and underpinned by the latest research, this is an essential companion for all training and early career history teachers.
