I think that it is important to produce teachers who are dedicated, inspirational and able to motivate and engage pupils in learning. A key part of this, in terms of history education, is to give pupils a clear sense of the importance and relevance of history to their lives outside school and after leaving school. I hope that all strands of my research will contribute to enabling teachers to teach more effectively, and to more committed and productive learning for pupils.
