Thinking Deeply about Primary History with Stuart Tiffany

Episode 142: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Stuart Tiffany for the second episode of Season 6.

Stuart has been a guest on the podcast before but this time we sit down 1:1 to go far into the depths of primary history.

Stuart shares his thoughts on subject leadership, locality and curriculum sequencing as well as his unrivalled passion for the subject of history.

As part of the chat we explore...

1. How local is local history (the context) and how do we become sufficiently expert in our school’s local history to execute our role as effectively as we might hope (the question)? 

2. What does a typical history lesson (I know that might be an oxymoron) look like in your classroom?

3. …and what role does cognitive science play? 

4. If you had to convince someone who was less than enthusiastic that considerations of world building were an effective use of time, what would you say to them? 

5. What are your guiding principles for historical enquiry? 

6. In your book you provide readers with worked examples. How do you hope they will be used? 

...and much, much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one!
