The introduction of a national history curriculum is a significant development for education in Australia. The Professional Certificate in History Education provides comprehensive support to history teachers as they implement this reform.
The Melbourne Graduate School of Education and the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies combine disciplinary and pedagogical expertise to explore a range of topics drawn from the Australian Curriculum (The Ancient World, The Ancient to the Modern World, The Making of the Modern World, and The Modern World and Australia). The national curriculum explores Australian history in a world context. The certificate equips teachers to adopt this approach. It also engages with the exciting area of historical thinking.
Students examine leading international models of historical thinking and use them to enhance their teaching. They also develop teaching resources for use in schools.
