Using the work of historians in the Primary History classroom:
We teach our pupils history but do they actually know and understand how the subject works? This practical meeting will help history subject leaders to develop pupil understanding of the subject across the key stages by showing how the work of historians can be effectively introduced to pupils in classrooms. It will demonstrate how the work of professional historians can be made accessable and how it can be revisited to underpin disciplinary concepts.
