This year at Oak National Academy, we’ve been releasing a brand new curriculum for secondary history with our expert partners Future Academies. With the curriculum nearly fully resourced, let’s explore the resource I’m MOST proud of…🥁 📌 The British Empire: how far was it transformed in the mid-nineteenth century? These new resources for secondary history teachers have been carefully planned and produced. Here are three reasons why I think they’re unmissable: With a clear focus and attention to detail, they tackle a subject that is sometimes dealt with superficially: the mid-nineteenth century British Empire. They deal with a difficult, yet fundamental issue in Britain’s past. Historians such as David Olusoga have warned school leaders about the danger of teaching a dishonest version of the past. These resources seek to do the opposite. The resources are shaped around an enquiry question investigating the extent of change to the British Empire during the nineteenth century. This provides a clear structure and guidance for pupils’ learning about this fascinating topic. But, don’t just listen to me. Check them out here: https://lnkd.in/etvUYTPk

Today, the final books for my fall semester of 2024 came in the mail. This stack of books encompasses the Western Tradition, covering the ancient, modern, and Christian pillars of the west. My classes this upcoming semester will be conducted Socratic Seminar style, with close readings of these texts, engaging with the important questions that they produce. Yet, this type of education is not found just anywhere, in fact it’s quite rare to find in most colleges and universities today. Thankfully, the The Honors College of Belmont Abbey College provides this form of classical liberal arts education- the one that so many great thinkers, leaders, and teachers have been formed by. If you’re a student or a parent- consider coming to or sending your child to the Honors College at Belmont Abbey. It’s an education like no other that seeks to do what education should do- induce the human person to virtue and happiness.
