Welcome to the Teaching Strategies section! The aim of this section is to provide you with lots of practical ideas to help make your teaching lively and to help you address common ‘learning blocks’ that students encounter in history. For example, these might be in relation to chronological understanding, or defining historical significance, or taking part in debate, or learning dates and names. These practical teaching strategies have been developed and tested by leading history teaching practitioners. They can be adapted to your teaching environment. You can build these ideas into your planning to help you achieve the purpose of the learning for your students.
