Historical Association webinar series: Avoiding confusion and challenging misconceptions in primary history

Avoiding confusion with significance in primary history


Andrew Wrenn

This practical webinar will identify what confuses pupils in the teaching of the disciplinary concept of historical significance and will show how such confusion and misconceptions can be avoided and challenged. Examples of careful planning and activities will be given so that pupils can develop an accurate and nuanced understanding of what they are being taught, in line with National Curriculum rubric and current Ofsted expectations. The session will also refer to the improved pupil handling of original evidence.
