This book is an essential handbook on teaching primary history,
combining subject knowledge with practical teaching ideas to ensure
your teaching of history is both imaginative and creative.
Emphasizing the importance of history and its wider skillset, the
book explores the concepts and skills that are the fundamental
building blocks of history teaching such as: * Chronological
understanding * Concepts and skills * Interpretation and evidence
Each chapter offers a structured approach and provides a range of
activities that both address specific elements of the history
curriculum and help develop this wider skillset. It includes
practical ideas for lessons through an essential toolkit of ideas,
teaching strategies and activities, with each activity designed to
focus on a key skill or attribute associated with teaching primary
history. The practical insights accompanied by a grounded rationale
for each aspect of history will help you learn the best methods for
approaching the teaching of history in the primary school, as well
as plan and deliver effective history lessons. This book is ideal
if you are training to teach as it will help you with your
assignments and your teaching placements. It is also recommended if
you are a more experienced practitioner or history coordinator and
want to provide the very best experiences in primary history to
children in your school. "An essential and inspirational guidebook
for the successful teaching of history within the primary
classroom! If you are in any way involved with the teaching of
history, you owe it to yourself to read this book. A 'must have'
for all history coordinators and teachers within the primary
sector, from trainees to the experienced, who wish to raise the
profile of history within their school. Closely tied to the new
primary curriculum, it is enriched with excellent ideas to make
history in the classroom a fun and memorable experience." Julia
Wilson, Primary Teacher, Hensingham Primary School, UK "This book
is easy to read and will enable all teachers (whatever their stage
of career development) to become even better at teaching History.
The chapter about the history of the curriculum is particularly
interesting because it helps us all to understand what has
influenced curriculums and pedagogies over time, whereas the
Planning, Assessment and Toolkit chapters are useful on a more
practical level. What is particularly ideal for trainee teachers is
the Theory into Practice chapter that blends the pedagogy of
History with learning theory. I will certainly be recommending this
text to all my student teachers." Maggie Webster, Senior Lecturer
and RE Subject Coordinator, Edge Hill University, UK "Chris Russell
has provided a gem of a guide with lots of practical advice for the
student and practising teacher of history in the primary classroom,
as well as a good book to read in its own right." Marian Hodgson,
Head Teacher, St Philips CE Primary School, Litherland, UK
