In this episode, former EuroClio president Dean Smart looks back on a long career as a history teacher, teacher trainer and member of the EuroClio community since 2002. He talks about how early school experiences and the Schools History Project shaped his idea of good history teaching. He explains how working in a diverse inner-city school and then meeting colleagues across Europe widened his perspective. Dean Smart also shares his worries about education today: the focus on measurable results like PISA, over-regulation that limits teachers’ creativity, and growing nationalism and “othering”.
