This site has been created to support
anyone involved in the training of history teachers.
Although the primary audience is history PGCE co-ordinators,
both in universities and schools, it will also be
of interest to school-based subject mentors. Trainee
teachers may be interested to look at the site, but
it should be noted there is little of direct relevance
for them. The creation of this website has been overseen
by the Historical Association in association with
the universities of Oxford, Southampton and Warwick
and is funded by the Training Development Agency. Its
authors are all highly experienced in the field of
history education.

The support materials are presented in a series
of units which explore the following aspects:
General
issues about working in initial teacher
training, set in a history context.
Working
with trainee teachers to teach history
effectively.
Engaging with research as
a teacher trainer and becoming research
active.
Units addressing issues
in the first category have been developed.
The
other units will be
developed during 2005.
