Teaching History is a module in the School and Humanities and Heritage at the University of Lincoln. It is designed to deepen students’ understanding of the practice of teaching history – and related subjects, like Classics – in the classroom. The module encourages students, especially but not exclusively those who may be considering a career in education, to think more deeply about pedagogic theory and teaching practice. We spend a lot of time reflecting on prior learning experiences and get to talk to teachers and teacher educators about what it is like to teach History in (primary and secondary) schools and other contexts (e.g. museums and heritage sites).
For the final assessment on the module, students produce a project, which can either be a teaching resource, such as a lesson plan or a syllabus, or a research project, which can be something like a report or a literature review. The quality of the student work has been really high over the years and this page is a place where I’m hoping to share some of the best outputs.
