History Teaching Masterclass: Every Teacher Can Use Evidence to Inform Their Teaching Practice! - 30 May 24
Using ‘evidence’ to inform teaching practice can improve student learning outcomes. What does the research suggest? And what other sources of ‘evidence’ should teachers consider?
This masterclass will provide teachers with insights and ideas about using ‘evidence’ in ways that can increase the impact of their teaching.
HTAV’s masterclass series brings you practising teachers and other experts sharing the things they really know about and/or have tested successfully in their setting.
Thursday 30 May 2024, 2.00pm–4.00pm
Online via Zoom
