Honest conversations about Design & Technology

Watch the conversation here.

Big ideas in history

Joshua Valance and Rob Hayes talk with Steve Willshaw about how an effective history curriculum can be built around substantive concepts, providing continuity, and helping pupils to develop a sense of period and an understanding of chronology.

They explain how stories of individuals and objects are used to build understanding of curriculum narrative, add hinterland to pupils’ knowledge and contribute to the three big stories around which their curriculum is based: power, migration and agency. Watch here.

Richard O’Neill is a multi-award award winning, storyteller, author and workshop leader. He is the recipient of the ‘National Literacy Hero’ award, the Beacon Leadership Award for community development and inclusion, and a Royal Literary Society Award.
