Teaching strategies
In this section we have grouped clips of historians considering what makes teaching work for them and their students and their memories of those who have influenced and inspired them. We have divided the section into three sub-sections which can be accessed via the playlist buttons in the menu on the right. Viewers are reminded, however, that just as conversation (and life) is rarely so neatly packaged, many clips overlap and complement each other in ways that go beyond easy compartmentalisation. In short, as in teaching, it always pays to explore and from this page you can do so in your own way.
