CPD
Continuing professional development is one of the core elements of both teachers’ and the HA’s work. CPD, informed by formal research and the expertise of the history-teaching community developed over decades, permeates much of what the HA produces, from conferences and events, to research, journals and guides. In this section, you can find our current courses and CPD series listed in What’s On, with more detail about each individual event in Available events. Take a look at our past event resources and tap into the wealth of research that can inform your development as a teacher or history leader in our CPD guides and Briefing packs. For more informal, ongoing CPD discussion with colleagues go to the onebighistorydepartment blog. Read more
