Early Career
As an early career teacher, you may find that you have got to grips with the basics of teaching history, although you are still developing your own conceptual knowledge of what it means to get better at history and being able to see the bigger picture. At this career stage, you may be asked to become the history coordinator in your school, which means not only have you got to develop your own understanding, but you are also charged with developing this across the school. In this section you will find supportive articles and resources to help you past the basics.
