This book explored changing practice in history classrooms from the autonomy of the 1980s through the introduction of GCSEs and the National Curriculum to the prescription of the National Strategies and the pervasive influence of league tables in the first decade of the 21st century.

A guide to developing and using online resources in history teaching. It offers advice that helps the history teacher develop online assignments, and provides an introduction to the myriad resources and tools available for use in the online classroom.

The early years are increasingly recognised as a priority time for the education of children and language and literacy are key elements of any early childhood programme. This second edition provides an accessible text on the current research and thinking surrounding these areas.

Drawing on the author's own research, this text identifies what effective teachers know, understand and do which enable them to put effective teaching of literacy into practice in the primary school.
