Initial Assessment: Audit your current knowledge of history and humanities and develop an action plan to address any gaps before the course begins.
Foundational Understanding: Begin by exploring the purpose and rationale behind teaching history in schools, supported by research and literature on effective history pedagogy.
Key Historical Skills: Gain a thorough grounding in teaching essential historical skills and concepts, such as causation and interpretations, while also learning how to address sensitive and controversial topics.
Humanities Integration: Identify connections between history and other humanities subjects, such as enquiry-based learning and outdoor education, through individual and group work.
Collaborative Learning: Work alongside geography students to apply general humanities principles to your specialist subject, with breakout sessions focusing on history teaching techniques for Key Stage 4 (KS4).

Integrated Training: Experience a blend of on-campus training at Middlesex University and practical, school-based training at partner schools.
Support and Mentorship: Receive guidance from mentors, university tutors, and expert colleagues to acquire the skills needed to meet QTS standards.
