AUT24-146 Teaching History in the 1 Hour Classroom

Date: Thursday September 26th 

Time:6:00 pm

Teaching in a 1 hour classroom has been a new experience for many teachers since COVID-19 who were used to 40 minute classes, and although it has been a fixture in many schools for several years now, many teachers are still figuring out how best to approach teaching and learning in this environment.

The structure and planning behind these classes are even more crucial now than before. So join us as we explore how best to approach teaching History in the one hour classroom, with methodologies, resources, and the science behind the one hour classroom all to be delved into to maximise both the teacher and the student’s productivity.
