Becoming a History Teacher
The face behind UoN History Teacher Education belongs to Victoria Crooks, Assistant Professor in History Education and Subject Lead and Admissions tutor for the History PGCE at the University of Nottingham. Following a classroom career teaching history and humanities and being involved in sixth form leadership, Victoria has worked in initial teacher education since 2013 across a range of different ITE pathways. Her particular interests lie in the development of the teacher educator partnership, developing effective mentoring for beginning teachers and also in the teaching of history to students who speak English as an Additional Language.
This blog began as a way to support the mentors on the University of Nottingham History PGCE with common mentoring challenges.
