Primary Teacher Fellowship Programme: Local history
Local history: untold stories of the people of Britain
At the heart of this Teacher Fellowship programme in partnership with the Historical Association was the concept of integrating local history into the classroom through the stories of the people and places which make the history of your school's community exciting and unique. Through the lens of local history this fellowship explored a variety of time periods and a range of sources and approaches including the built environment, local museum collections, archival documents and digital resources.
Participants worked with historians, archivists and and programme leader Bev Forrest to explore the myriad ways in which local history can be incorporated into their teaching practice.
Based on their learning the Teacher Fellows have developed resources on local history in the classroom. A selection of these enquiries is available below, along with participants' reflections on the programme.
