John Catt Educational Ltd What is History Teaching Now A practical handbook
Book SynopsisWhat is History Teaching, Now? is a research-informed handbook designed to provide practical guidance for history teachers and educators with differing levels of experience. Drawing upon the classroom practice and experience of a range of practitioners, the book focuses upon key areas such as curriculum and assessment, pedagogy, communicating history and resources that support effective teaching and learning.This book also provides practical ways to approach teaching topics such as diverse histories, the British Empire, world history and environmental history. Practical strategies are woven within the book, alongside questions for reflection and suggestions for further research and reading.Trade ReviewWhile the authors of What is History Teaching, Now? all refer to academic research into pedagogical approaches, the book manages to stay unashamedly grounded in real classroom practice. Each chapter reads like a conversation with the author in the staffroom and, when put together, the range of voices and experiences present an exposition and celebration of the often extraordinary practice that takes place in history classrooms around the country.History teachers constantly develop their practice through research and debate, and this book celebrates this process and its outcomes. It has wisely avoided presenting itself as a definitive handbook on history teaching by instead giving a wide-ranging exposition of some of the best current practice. With What is History Teaching, Now? Fairlamb and Ball have marshalled a range of voices to explore the multifaceted elements of the modern history curriculum. For this breadth alone, What is History Teaching, Now? deserves to become a standard reference for every modern history department. -- Scott Allsop, host of HistoryPod and MrAllsopHistory, history teacher at British School of BucharestThis is a quite extraordinary resource: one which will be a considerable addition to the teaching of history and also sets a benchmark for other subjects to follow suit. A riveting resource! -- Mary Myatt, education writer and speakerThis comprehensive and wide-ranging book collates an impressive range of helpful, thoughtful and practical chapters that will prove invaluable to history educators, whether they be ECTs or experienced, long-serving heads of department. Each chapter provides a clear overview, detailed rationale and, most importantly, practical applications for the history classroom. -- Luke MayhewThis book matters. The last 30 years have been traumatic. History teachers can often feel as though they are running to stand still.While history teaching now is more exciting and dynamic than ever as our layers of understanding increase and horizons widen, curriculum choices become more complex. What? Why? When? Who? Where? How? It can be overwhelming. This book takes account of kaleidoscopic starting points and is filled with contemporary connections to help broaden awareness, share experiences and deepen understanding. It puts learners firmly at the centre and encourages thinking about cognition and the relevance of the past to make sense of their present. It will propel teachers forward with renewed classroom confidence based on reassuring, high-impact, practical takeaways. Credible contributors skilfully use varied angles and lenses to make sure you've 'got it covered'. The format and chapter pointers open discussion and arouse further curiosity. It is a carefully crafted volume to treasure. Make it your compendium companion. -- Carmel Bones, Fellow of the Historical Association, Carmel Bones Education
