How can we help students develop their ‘Big Picture’ of History?
The new National Curriculum for history has placed a greater emphasis on
chronology and on encouraging students to try to develop a big picture of how all the
periods and topics they study fit together. This is a mighty challenge. In this
keynote session Ben explores some of the ideas, resources and approaches which
have been developed by teachers, publishers and the Historical Association to try to
help teachers to help students to wrestle with this worthwhile but challenging aim.

Workshop R 1a
Ben Walsh presents
Historical Sources in the classroom
Most students find it hard to use historical sources well. Drawing on teacher
practice, evidence from examinations and the collections of national and
international archives Ben Walsh looks at ways to get students interested in
searching for sources, making effective use of them and seeing how the use of
sources develops critical thinking and a connection with the people who
inhabited the past.
Using paper and digital resources we will examine ways to make the use of
sources an activity to look forward to, and above all look at how sources can
shine a light on the hidden actors of history – the ordinary men and women who
shaped history in quieter ways than monarchs or politicians, but no less
significantly.

I’m flipping lovin’ it!
The positive impacts of Flipped Learning at GCSE
Flipped learning has its origins in USA where it has gained a big following of both
teachers and lecturers. It is based on the idea that students complete a pre-lesson task
as their homework in order to have some foundations of the topic to be covered. This
enables teachers to differentiate more effectively in the classroom and personalise our
lessons more especially at GCSE.
In this session you will cover:

A ‘whistlestop’ tour of the basics of flipped learning and ideas and strategies to
implement this approach in your classroom
By the end of the workshop you will be able to:



Takeaway strategies to trial flipped learning in your lessons whatever the subject.
Be energised to try a simple but radical approach to homework
