Product reviews for Making Every History Lesson Count

Making Every History Lesson Count is a great achievement and an important and very welcome piece of work. Illuminated by unfussy diagrams and charts, its six main principles are clear, sensible and disciplinarily authentic - and Chis Runeckles' writing is refreshingly free of confusing jargon, which helps make the book an accessible and pleasurable read. It draws on recent developments in cognitive psychology and is supported by the work of some of England's most original thinkers from both within and outside the history teaching community.



Trainee, newly qualified and less experienced teachers will find Making Every History Lesson Count invaluable, while department heads would be wise to read it too - as it has some powerful insights regarding the formation of sensible policy for the teaching of history. I wish I'd read it when I first started teaching.
