SHP Curriculum PATHS is open to all teachers of history, as well as those who support history teaching in schools. It is free-to-join and democratically accountable to its members.

Our Aims

We firmly believe that history educators who are serious about providing a ‘powerful’ curriculum for their pupils would be best served thinking more robustly about the ethical justifications of their curriculum content selections, pedagogical approaches, and assessment choices. We have therefore created, ratified and shared our framework of Ethical Principles for curriculum construction in history.

The Ethical Principles are designed to empower teachers of history to:

  • Plan their own ethically grounded history units and curriculum overviews.
  • Share curricula and curriculum units, alongside clear explanations for their ethical underpinnings.
  • Integrate ethically grounded curriculum units or curriculum overviews, shared by others, meaningfully into their school contexts.
  • Have opportunities to work with other teachers of history, across multiple contexts and age phases, and be active in discussing about what makes an empowering history education.

You can find out more about our Ethical Principles and how to get involved by clicking the links on this page.
