Publisher's Synopsis
Primary history is one of the richest areas of teaching and learning, but in order to teach it well you need a strong understanding of key historical concepts and the content of the national curriculum.
Combining a detailed focus on the core skills and principles underpinning good history teaching, this book will help you to:
· appreciate the key concepts that underpin historical understanding
· engage deeply with the programmes of study for Key Stage 1 and 2
· understand the links between historical reasoning and constructivist accounts of how children learn
· apply a cross-curricular approach to your teaching
· assess children's historical understanding
