The difficulties of teaching 'Black British History' and some of the preconceptions surrounding it are tackled head-on in a lesson on 'Queen Elizabeth and the Blackmoores'. Dan Lyndon, a secondary History teacher from Henry Compton School in West London, specialises in teaching 'Black British History'. In his lesson he demonstrates how black history doesn't have to be a stand-alone unit, and how, contrary to popular belief, it can be incorporated throughout the curriculum. What this programme offers is a demonstration of a number of 'active learning' techniques which can be used to help incorporate black history. It also offers suggestions on where else in the curriculum black history may be incorporated. In combination with the large amount of web-resources available, it aims to give you the confidence and know-how needed to get you started in incorporating black history into the curriculum.
