Reflections on SHP Conference 2009

Friday afternoon – total focus

The HMI View

Active learning – Saturday night style

‘I’m going to bounce all the way home’ said one teacher as she left the 2009 SHP conference.

The written evaluations, too, were full of praise:

‘an amazing weekend’
‘a fantastically helpful conference’
‘I saw excellent and inspirational practice in all workshops and plenaries’
‘so well-organised, everything dovetailed’

These were just a few of the comments from over 260 teachers who attended.

From Friday to Sunday lunchtime, teachers and history educators were treated to the most creative thinking and practice in history education. Five plenary sessions and over thirty workshops addressed some of the most important issues in school history.
