Whenever significant change to curriculum frameworks take place teachers must find practical everyday ways to make this material come alive to young learners. In this online workshop participants will explore easy-to-use strategies designed specifically to address the demands of the new Australian Curriculum. Participants will explore engaging activities for teaching key historical concepts in the new curriculum, get a chance to model strategies for balancing the demands of a curriculum crowded with depth studies and overviews, discover resources and games that teachers can use to investigate history from the Ancient World to Australia and the Modern World and techniques for teaching an integrated approach to historical knowledge and skills. This ONLINE workshop is a great starting point for those wishing to learn about the Australian Curriculum and what it really means for their History classes.

| I really enjoyed working through this course. The ideas and classroom activities presented to me were extremely useful and very practical in my classroom. It was easy to complete, I didn't feel rushed to get the work completed as we could work through it at our own pace over the week.Glen is to be commended for putting together such a worthwhile and invaluable course that has certainly benefitted me as a History teacher.
