Críticas

History is a living subject and one that prepares children for the future by helping them analyse the past. In 'Making Every History Lesson Count' Chris Runeckles draws out the subject's human aspect and communicates this with aplomb.

Chris' focus on research underpins long-standing givens around good teaching knowledge, storytelling, questioning and the interrogation of resources and invites teachers to enhance their own classroom practice and delivery.

A really useful guide for the busy history teacher.

--Hywel Roberts, teacher, writer and humourist

'Making Every History Lesson Count' is a great achievement and an important and very welcome piece of work. Illuminated by unfussy diagrams and charts, its six main principles are clear, sensible and disciplinarily authentic and Chis Runeckles writing is refreshingly free of confusing jargon, which helps make the book an accessible and pleasurable read. It draws on recent developments in cognitive psychology and is supported by the work of some of England's most original thinkers from both within and outside the history teaching community.

Trainee, newly qualified and less experienced teachers will find 'Making Every History Lesson Count' invaluable, while department heads would be wise to read it too as it has some powerful insights regarding the formation of sensible policy for the teaching of history. I wish I'd read it when I first started teaching.

--Ben Newmark, Vice Principal, The Nuneaton Academy

Reseña del editor

< Making Every History Lesson Count goes in search of answers to the crucial question that all history teachers must ask: "What can I do to help my students retain and interrogate the rich detail of the content that I deliver?" Writing in the practical, engaging style of the award-winning Making Every Lesson Count, Chris Runeckles articulates the fundamentals of great history teaching and shares simple, realistic strategies designed to deliver memorable lessons. The book is underpinned by six pedagogical principles - challenge, explanation, modelling, practice, feedback and questioning - and equips history teachers with the tools and techniques to help students better engage with the subject matter and develop more sophisticated historical analysis and arguments. In an age of educational quick fixes and ever-moving goalposts, this carefully crafted addition to the Making Every Lesson Count series expertly bridges the gap between the realms of academic research and the humble classroom. It therefore marries evidence-based practice with collective experience - and, in doing so, inspires a challenging approach to secondary school history teaching. Making Every History Lesson Count has been written for new and experienced practitioners alike, offering gimmick-free advice that will energise them to more effectively carve out those unique moments of resonance with young people. Each chapter also concludes with a series of questions that will prompt reflective thought and enable educators to relate the content to their own classroom practice. Suitable for history teachers of students aged 11-16 years.
