Our pre-recorded training offers the same expert-led, high-quality training you’d expect from SIL, but with added flexibility.
Each recording offers whole-staff access, so it’s perfect for supporting staff meetings, staff development, or providing additional flexible CPD options.
History: Historical enquiry
A progressive approach to teaching chronology, with practical examples of how schools can put this into practice.
- Encourage children to ask questions, evaluate sources, and consider different perspectives.
- Help learners to think critically about evidence, understand that history is often interpreted differently and learn to distinguish between fact, opinion, and bias.
- Exploring why events happened and what their consequences were, children begin to understand how actions and decisions shape the world, helping them make sense of current events and societal changes.
History: Understanding Chronology
A progressive approach to teaching chronology with practical examples of how schools can put this into practice.
- Understanding chronology helps learners grasp the concept of past, present, and future. It allows them to place events in sequence, which is essential for understanding cause and effect.
- Chronological progression helps children analyse change and continuity over time, and it supports the development of skills like comparison, evaluation, and interpretation of historical events.
- Knowing when events happened helps children understand the context in which people lived, and how decisions were made.
Things to consider
- Recordings last between 10 and 30 minutes and include short breaks for tasks or reflection.
- To maximise the learning experience, we recommend delivering each recording as part of a one-hour CPD session, or a staff meeting.
- All recordings will remain available until 31 August 2026 and can be revisited as often as you wish.
- All sessions can also be delivered face to face or combined to provide a half /full day training opportunity for staff in your school, Network, Trust or LA. Get in touch if you would like to explore options.
