Lots of excellent points here, mainly relating to ALL subjects, not just history (even if maybe historians like lecturing more than others, which does NOT mean they do it better than others).
I would add the following:
* get an actor to talk to your staff about delivery, posture, variation, etc., etc..
* think about the "3-part lesson" i.e. the lecture is just a chunk, not the whole thing
* remember to change pace; ask questions; give time for small-group discussion
* send them away with something they have learned, something to think about (BIG questions!), and a 'small' question to investigate
* use teamwork i.e. if everybody has slightly different 'small' question, you can actually get a lot of research done by pooling them e.g. look at the daily newspaper for {{a different date for meach student}}; then pool them in small groups; then pool the small group results. This is known as team-research! Students learn far more from each other than they ever will from you!
