"What I really like about the structure of Oxford Connections is there's a chance for students to embed lots of reading and lots of writing in every humanities class, but there's rich content and rich ways in which students can interact with that content."
Dr Nathaniel Swain, Series Consultant

"I think trust is a big part of this material.

You can be confident that the planning has been done for you and done by teachers who understand the best ways in which students learn."

Lisa Kebbell - Teacher and Series Author

"The program carefully sequences lessons in each unit, ensuring knowledge is introduced in manageable chunks, with curated reading passages, videos, interactives and regular check for understanding opportunities that help students build understanding without becoming overwhelmed."

Megan Brown - Learning Designer, Oxford University Press

"So rather than just simply recalling facts, students analyse historical sources, they interpret geographical data, they evaluate evidence, and they justify their thinking using the knowledge that they've acquired.


I think that's something that really sets Oxford Connections apart."

Lisa Kebbell - Teacher and Series Author

A knowledge-rich, F–6 Humanities program with explicit teaching and literacy at its core

Oxford Connections: People & Places is a brand-new program that will provide all the teacher and student resources needed to explicitly teach the full humanities curriculum, while embedding and developing core literacy skills.​

The series supports a knowledge-rich curriculum by offering carefully curated reading passages that immerse students in diverse subjects, build background knowledge and strengthen literacy skills. With videos, interactives and check for understanding opportunities, Humanities becomes engaging and accessible.
