Agincourt 600
2016 Teacher Fellowship Programme
Course lead: Ian Dawson
Academic support: Prof Anne Curry, Prof Michael Hicks, Dr Dan Spencer
The inaugural Teacher Fellowship Programme was launched through funding provided by Agincourt 600 with the aim of providing rigorous, subject knowledge-focused professional development for teachers. It was led by Ian Dawson with a focus on the fifteenth century and late Middle Ages.
The programme began with a two-day residential in January with input from historians Anne Curry, Michael Hicks and Dan Spencer. The teachers then took part in an eight-week online course, followed by a one-day resources and approaches workshop in April. The teachers from this programme are in the process of applying their learning from the course to develop a selection of resources about the later Middle Ages for use by other teachers.
