Review
By far the most thoughtful book on A level history teaching I have read. Leaves others standing. Rather than trying to cover all bases, it plays to its strengths. You just can't find A level methodology described in such compelling detail . The fact that we have here, uniquely, a number of fully-resourced activities with accomapnying enquiry planning, makes the book even more persuasive. You feel not only that this has worked, but that you could make it work too. Passing on good ideas is the easy part of CPD; changing classroom practice is the hard bit. If ever a book had a racing chance of getting A level teachers to broaden their repertoire this it it.
(Neil Thompson, Key Stage History )Product Description

Format:Spiral-bound
Like many teachers, I felt that my training in A Level teaching had been rather sketchy and much learnt 'on the job'. I therefore went in search of a book that would give me some ideas and (if possible) things I could simply use in my own classroom. I was confident this was the book I needed (I've already used other History in Practice titles including 'History Pictures' and 'History and Literacy in Year 7' with the former especially useful). I wasn't disappointed, as this book provides examples of how to approach different types of skill with A Level students, from higher level evidential enquiry, to setting up the notoriously challenging independent research coursework element of A2. Sadly for me, I teach none of the topics that this book provides exemplar materials for (Henry VIII and the Reformation, Italy under Mussolini, Women in Nazi Germany, Warfare in the 19th and 20th Centuries (100 year study)) but this doesn't stop me highly recommending it. I have been able to adapt the same techniques to my own A Level teaching and I have found that it has given me new impetus and variation on my own practice. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for some ideas about how to 'raise your game' at A Level.
Format:Spiral-bound
Diana Laffin explains her thinking and practice with great clarity. The examples given (including enabling students to understand more about evidence and interpretation) are all creative and worth transferring across any number of different historical topics. Very good value.
