Non-Specialists
Non-specialists may only have a rudimentary understanding of the discipline of history and the way it is taught in schools. They are also unlikely to know what resources re available to help them plan and deliver their history lessons. They are likely to need significant support to ensure that students receive the quality of history education to which they are entitled. Subject leaders will need to meet with the non-history specialist colleague to discuss strengths and weaknesses in relation to their teaching and then make a plan to support the colleague for as long as is necessary. In this section you will find helpful articles, guides and resources to enable you to colleagues who are not specialist history teachers.
