Skilled teachers make a difference to the lives of those they teach. This teacher training course is designed to enable you to become a qualified, passionate teacher of History in Secondary schools.

 

We encourage you to embrace the professional qualities and attributes that successful teachers need, including:

• the ability to inspire, engage and motivate learners in your subject
• a commitment to inclusion and your pupils’ wellbeing
• impeccable personal and professional conduct, and
• the ability to reflect on your own progress and continue to develop.

 

With our support, you’ll become an empathetic and skilled teaching professional who is responsive to the needs of all pupils. You’ll have a positive impact on those you teach – from the beginning of your training within schools.

 

Share your passion for History

Learn how to inspire, engage and motivate learners in History using teaching methods that enable pupils to become successful independent learners, excited and challenged by the possibilities that History brings.

 

In University subject sessions we model ways to instil a love of learning History, through engaging activities that promote collaboration and discussion, which you'll continue to develop in the classroom. Sessions focus on the importance of both historical knowledge and skills, which are key to promoting quality pupil learning.

 

These sessions are led not only by academic staff but a wide range of History experts. You’ll engage with History workshops led by the British Museum, National Archives and Holocaust Educational Trust, as well as participating in Museum-based teaching sessions.
