History teacher training
A great history teacher must first and foremost be passionate about history with excellent subject knowledge and historical skills. A successful history teacher is also creative with the ability to engage students and explain difficult concepts. History teachers must also be lifelong learners; keeping abreast of the latest historical scholarship. They teach students that history is an ever-changing, challenging and exciting discipline.

Subject knowledge
