Teaching and learning does not only happen in school classrooms. The recent growth in remote education and home-schooling in England creates opportunities for students to develop as independent learners, but this potential cannot be realised without structure and purpose. Our suite of self-directed online student resources gives you the material to provide this.

“Excellent resources and a very new, fresh and visual way of teaching the Holocaust. It made me think about how I teach more generally.”
