Section two offers case studies, curriculum materials and designs,

existing knowledge-base.

an increasingly over-crowded and competitive school curriculum? How
can history be harnessed to improvements in literacy and numeracy?

secure easier access to historical information and evidence?

In recent years there has been a massive revival of interest
internationally in what story can offer to education. This book
covers a range of issues at the heart of teaching history, such as

translating curriculum content into lessons, story telling and
story making. It also questions what it means to teach, the
difficulties for teachers of remaining constructively critical of
policy, and their own practice, during periods of national
legislation and change.
