Paperback. Drawing on over 60 years' combined experience of history teaching and history curriculum leadership, Carr, Hibbert, Priggs and Richards explore ways to make history memorable, engage students in historical thinking and secure excellent outcomes for all.

The authors of Secondary History in Action articulate practical approaches to history curriculum design, ways to teach disciplinary history in the classroom and methods to assess students' knowledge and understanding. They draw together recent research and established traditions in history teaching discourse in a coherent summary that will be helpful to trainee and beginning teachers, non-specialist teachers of history, subject leaders and senior leaders line-managing history departments.
