About the Author
Tom Haward is Subject Leader for History in a brand new school in West Sussex. He started his career working for V.S.O. in a rural school on the Zimbabwe-Botswana border, armed only with a box of crumbling chalk and a sense of humour. Since then he has worked in two comprehensives in Brighton and one in London, interspersed with a year in Brazil setting up a new secondary school based on the English National Curriculum. His interest in visual learning developed when he was awarded a Best Practice Research Scholarship to research the effectiveness of visual learning in KS3 History. Working with the University of Brighton, educational psychologists and leading professionals, he has developed a series of strategies and resources to engage and motivate students of all abilities.
