Good History teaching goes beyond “what happened.” Students need to think critically, question evidence, engage with diverse perspectives, and communicate their ideas effectively. The challenge? Doing all of this while managing workload and ensuring full syllabus coverage.
This webinar will show how Good History solves that challenge.
Tuesday 12 May, 2026
4-5pm
Participants will be guided through a Stage 4 lesson and a Stage 5 lesson to see how textbook content, worksheets and skills-based activities operate within a single lesson or short lesson sequence. The session will highlight how lesson structure, task design and expectations progress from Stage 4 to Stage 5, while maintaining a consistent approach to geographical inquiry and skills development.
Teachers will see practical examples of how lessons can be adapted for different classes, how resources support syllabus outcomes, and how Good Geography materials can be used flexibly within existing programs.
