Ask staff to evaluate their own skills and knowledge
Download and modify our staff self-assessment tool and encourage all your teachers to fill it out.
This will give you a good understanding of how confident your staff are in teaching history, and help them reflect on their own levels of skills and knowledge.
The tool prompts staff to rate their confidence when it comes to:
- The subject knowledge required in the National Curriculum
- Key skills and concepts in history, such as:
- Terminology and vocabulary
- Using sources
- Displays
- Cause and effect
Audit your current history teaching to find areas to develop
This set of questions helps you to identify where your teachers may need extra support in teaching history.
Their answers to the self-assessment tool (above) will help you to answer several of the questions in the curriculum audit.
