Course programme

Typical course content

The full-time, one year, course starts in early September and continues through to the end of June, with breaks over Christmas and Easter. The course itself is designed to cover all aspects of teaching History, from issues of classroom management to effective ways of getting pupils to understand historical skills like cause and effect.

There are two school placements during the year. During the placements, trainees receive weekly taught input at the university. The emphasis is on understanding how to teach the key concepts and processes that underpin history, as well as more generic issues about planning, classroom management, use of ICT, development of literacy and numeracy within the subject. As the year passes you will consolidate and apply your learning and deepen your understanding of history teaching by exploring issues such as teaching diversity, controversial topics, the 14-19 curriculum, and inclusion.

During the course you will work in two different schools, closely with a designated mentor in the History department. You will be assessed during the course in a number of ways. This will be based on your teaching, ICT skills, presentations and written assignments. You will receive thorough preparation for all these, and they are all designed to develop your knowledge and understanding of the why and how of effective History teaching.
