Training of Teachers for the History Class

The training of teachers for the History class aims at:

• presenting the educational materials (particularly the books and the supplementary-support materials), the principles based on which they were designed, and their features (simple language, lots of pictures and illustrations, use of maps, supplementary information, chronologies, activities for pupils);
• familiarizing teachers with the logic and the use of the proposed materials for the teaching of the History class.

In the 2010-11 school year the following training seminars were organized:

Introduction to the Educational Materials for the History Class

The trainers presented in detail the materials that had been produced and were going to be distributed by OEDB (the Education Ministry’s “Organization for the Publication of Educational Books”), and introduced them to the general principles according to which they were designed, and the methodology with which these new materials should be used, i.e., how the teachers can benefit the most from them in History teaching.
