About this course

What does it mean to work like a historian? Is ‘disciplinary knowledge’ just a buzz-phrase for when we study sources and develop chronological understanding? Find out what Ofsted actually means by this term, which it found to be a major weakness in “most” of the schools it visited in its 2021 history subject inspections.

Course objectives:

  • Break down ‘disciplinary knowledge’ in history into eight clear categories
  • Provide you with practical and engaging approaches for teaching each one
  • Unpick the confusion around related terms
  • Reduce your anxiety about this abstract concept! 


Audience:

This course is suitable for Early Years and Primary school staff.

  • Headteachers and other SLT
  • History Leaders
  • EYFS, KS1 and KS2
