THE SITE
The website offers advice and guidance to teacher trainers through a twelve specific units. The first four units focus on general issues to do with designing a programme of initial teacher education, exploring issues of progression in history trainees’ learning, and ways of working effectively with school-based colleagues. The next seven units focus specifically on important aspects of history teaching about which trainees need to learn. The final unit is concerned with research, and is intended both to help you to make critical and appropriate use of various kinds of research and to support your own development as an educational researcher.

THE UNITS
The units are divided into a number of sections. These sections do not necessarily need to be read in sequence and the headings within each unit may guide you to the most appropriate topic for your needs. Highlighted text within a unit is a link to another website, unit or bibliography. To the right of each unit are key questions or activities. These are links to an activity that follows up the text in more depth. There are resources to support the activities that can be found on each page or within the activity.
