The Historian’s Craft, Confident Schools

One book for the whole department: the head of history defending curriculum time and the teacher taking a Year 9 class through a source they have never seen. What historical thinking actually is, how it is built from Year 7 to Year 13, and what separates a student who knows a great deal from one who can argue with it.
