History Teacher Educators’ Network ( HTEN) is a professional association established to promote the development of history teacher education, representing those who work with and have responsibility for the professional education, development and training of beginning and serving history teachers.
There are opportunities for educators to get involved with HTEN in a number of ways, including involvement with sharing good practice, support for mentors and contributing to conferences. There are two forthcoming online conferences offering sessions which are relevant for primary and secondary educators.
