Experience
For several years now, I have been developing a comprehensive and chronological curriculum of global history aimed at students in Key Stage 3. The focus is on developing source analysis and nurture a sense of empathy. Previously innovative history teaching involved designing my own history courses at the University level while completing my dissertation.
