More than facts: teaching complexity in history

<p>You know history is complex. How do you teach that in the classroom?</p><p>We unpack what 'complexity' in history means and how to bring it to life for your students.</p><p>As history educator Jonathon Dallimore puts it, “Factual information… is not sufficient. Information doesn’t guarantee that you actually have insight."</p><p>Because there’s the past (everything that’s happened) and then there’s history: the way we interpret, debate and make meaning of the past.</p><p>You’ll hear from experienced teachers and history educator Jonathon Dallimore, on why history is complex, with examples, and how to teach contestability and historical thinking skills to junior and secondary students.</p><p>Students are already debating the world around them. This is about helping them bring those skills into history.</p><h2>Resources and tipsheet</h2><ul><li><a href="https://ambapress.com.au/products/teaching-history?srsltid=AfmBOooeVqV6mqodmpmbRcY_7V4n5QxyOiEHT2EPjmdUwAQoMED_94v1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Practical Guide for Secondary School Teachers</a>.
