This book explores changing practice in history classrooms from the
autonomy of the 1980s through the introduction of GCSEs and the
National Curriculum to the prescription of the National Strategies
and the pervasive influence of league tables in the first decade of
the twenty-first century. It uses individual narratives from
history teachers to shed light on a changing profession. Showcasing
research that is crucial reading for leaders in education, it uses
oral accounts from 13 experienced teachers to provide a rich
testimony of the constraints and affordances acting on history
teachers. The book offers a unique perspective to show how teachers
experienced steady but substantial changes in policy and autonomy
and how this affected their practice; this detail enhances an
analysis of policy and curricular documents across three decades.
The findings are crucial for educational settings today, facing
crises of teacher recruitment and teacher retention. This book will
be of great interest to academics and higher degree research
students in history education, history of education and education
policy. It will also be of interest to beginning history teachers
and senior school leaders responsible for teacher development and
curriculum.
