Delegates will deepen their understanding of enquiry in history, especially in those areas given greater emphasis in the new Key Stage curriculum from 2008. They will work through a range of triedand- tested examples of good practice which genuinely develop pupils' ability to ask their own questions and to evaluate sources, including digital and web-based materials.
Particular attention will be given to enquiry work with the gifted and talented and those with Special Educational Needs. Through a series of practical activities, interspersed with opportunities to reflect and refine existing practice, colleagues will develop the confidence and ability to teach overviews that genuinely help pupils to see the ‘big picture’ in history.
