Description

Teaching History: A Practical Guide for Secondary School Teachers offers educators a clear and concise guide to navigating the unique challenges of history education. Providing a balanced approach that combines practical strategies with thoughtful insights into the nature of historical thinking, it will help teachers develop both their understanding of the subject and their instructional techniques.

Grounded in current research and real-world experience, this insightful book covers essential topics from unit planning and assessment design to working with historical scholarship and sources. While invaluable for early-career teachers, it will be equally beneficial to veterans seeking a fresh overview of the curricular landscape in the context of history education. By emphasising the "bifocal" nature of history teaching - balancing historical and instructional thinking - Teaching History will equip teachers with the tools they need to create engaging, effective and meaningful history classes.

Critic Reviews

The history curriculum is a battleground that tells us more about who we are in the present than who we were in the past. Sorting through the hue and cry to discern legitimate differences can be a challenge. In this new book, Jonathon Dallimore offers an indispensable roadmap for navigating a field too often driven by partisanship and emotion instead of reasoned argument. This volume will be invaluable for young teachers just starting out. But it will be equally beneficial for veterans seeking to be reinvigorated by a fresh overview of the curricular landscape. It merits a place on every history teacher's bookshelf.

Professor Sam Wineburg (Margaret Jacks Professor of Education Emeritus, Stanford University)

Practical, authoritative and engaging are the words that instantly spring to mind reading this book! Dallimore has written a generous and insightful guide to the challenges and opportunities of history teaching.

Professor Anna Clark (University of Technology, Sydney)

As an active head teacher working with early career history teachers, this book is incredibly helpful. Dallimore has provided a blend of current research with realistic quandaries to give both new teachers and their mentors the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations. More importantly, this book is a reminder for all history teachers about why we chose this profession. An engaging, enjoyable and thought-provoking read from an author who genuinely understands the joy of teaching history.

Martin Douglas (Secondary Head of History)
