Welcome to Terry Haydn’s PGCE History pages at UEA
The purpose of this website is twofold. Firstly, it is designed to support current and potential PGCE History students at UEA. The section on PGCE Student contains introductory information about the course, a typical timetable and practical advice on such issues as how to improve your history subject knowledge, planning and common mistakes to try and avoid. It also provides an opportunity to reflect on the purposes of school history. See also, sections on Inclusion and diversity, and ‘About this website‘.
The second function of this website is to provide materials that touch on some of the important themes in history teaching today. These are covered by the links below:
