Lovely spending time this weekend with @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @jacobolivey.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @kerrylouisehistory.bsky.social and so many other Hachette Learning authors and friends at the @histassoc.bsky.social conference. A wonderful event with truly wonderful people.

We’re nearly there with #changinghistoriesks3 Fragile Worlds and I couldn’t be prouder of how this project is coming together. Here are a few stunning spreads. You can see more at the @histassoc conference this week! Massive thanks to the author team led by @counsellc.bsky.social #HAConf26

Hachette talk about the textbook series. Will Goodfellow argues stories are accessible, and motivating; at @ttradioofficial.bsky.social

Super excited to catch up with history friends at #ArkSoane26 tmrw. Come say hi at the @hachettelearning.bsky.social stand and grab an exclusive preview of #ChangingHistoriesks3 Fragile Worlds with pages from @michaeldoron.bsky.social @jacobolivey.bsky.social and @counsellc.bsky.social chapters.

Looking forward to this LEAD conference in Lincoln next Monday. @schrecal.bsky.social and I will be sharing publisher insights on CAR, how @hachettelearning.bsky.social resources are created and how we can support teachers going forward. Get your tickets here: events.bookitbee.com/lead-equate-...

www.justgiving.com/campaign/ha-... The history of Roma, Gyspy, and Traveler people is absent in most schools. Help us change that by donating towards an HA fellowship! In memory of Helen Snelson and in the name of revealing hidden history, developing subject knowledge and doing justice to the past.

Calling all A level Politics Teachers! Hachette Learning would love your thoughts on its AQA and Edexcel A level politics Boost Updates resource. The survey will take 5 minutes and you'll receive a 10% discount redeemable on the HL website. Thanks in advance! www.surveymonkey.com/r/JBVZWHM

I just so happen to be teaching two different lessons about India tomorrow: Elizabethan exploration there with Y11 and East India Company rule with Y8. Looking forward to getting stuck into this:

It was a pleasure to host @catherinepriggs.bsky.social at Avanti Grange and a great opportunity to showcase our curriculum, drawing so much on the brilliant #ChangingHistoriesKS3

#ChangingHistoriesKS3 is improving history curriculums in schools across the country. A huge thank you to @catherinepriggs.bsky.social for her reflections on the impact the Changing Histories curriculum is having on the pupils at Avanti Grange School. www.hachettelearning.com/blog/when-th...

Amazing news. Thank you Mike for giving me something to look forward to at the start of 2026. Can't wait!

Love it!!

I'm curious to know if you or your students have used AI marking platforms for GCSE or A level history (eg Classroom 42's 'Examinator'). What are your/your students experiences? Any insights would be really appreciated. Thanks!

A 4hr 26 min train journey to get to #SHP25 . What better way to pass the time than to lose myself in some incredible #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Book 3:Fragile Worlds chapters. The author team and @counsellc.bsky.social have worked their magic yet again.

It will be really good. @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social are brilliant at explaining how to integrate rich extended story with critical disciplinary thinking. They explain the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series really well, giving great practical tips.

Had such a great time teaching Year 7 today! We explored England from 1087 to 1154 - a whirlwind of power struggles, a fractured empire, and civil war - using @counsellc.bsky.social’s chapter ‘Meanwhile, back in Norman England: Struggling for control after 1087’ from #ChangingHistoriesKS3

There's just one more day to sign up to our free Changing Histories webinar. Join @catherinepriggs.bsky.social & @egcarr.bsky.social on planning and teaching lesson sequences. Register here: bit.ly/4nrA8Mv

This short thread by Cat Priggs made me think: History planning is about tying things together into a shape, a flow – usually a story & often a parallel flow of the analytic direction created by the EQ. It isn't about breaking things up into propositions and it's rarely about teaching a procedure.

Does anyone know of a university academic/historian who could review a textbook chapter on Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge? Struggling to find someone. Thanks!

It's the final countdown, the last chance saloon, the end of the line! Tomorrow night we close the #SHP25 box office so don't miss out on our magnificent conference on July 11-13 @leedstrinity.bsky.social: 40 wonderful workshops, 3 kicking Keynotes, fab fringe sessions & enthusiastic exhibitors ...

Brilliant to see Hachette Learning authors @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social and @lambhearttea.bsky.social receive their HA honorary fellowships. Huge congrats to #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series ed @counsellc.bsky.social on her Medlicott Medal too!

And excited to unbox this new textbook for the Cambridge 9489/9981 syllabus! With grateful thanks to @davidandress.bsky.social Colin Storer and Christopher Read for their help, and to Will for making it happen @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social @hachetteuk.bsky.social

Looking for FREE CPD that can make a real difference to your KS3 history teaching? Look no further. The heat wave of our awesome Changing Histories webinar series continues. First @counsellc.bsky.social, then @paulalobo.bsky.social followed by @hughrichards.bsky.social and now Cat and Elizabeth 🌡️ ☀️

Genuinely been looking forward to this arriving - and just in time for planning next year. It looks just as fabulous as book 1! @counsellc.bsky.social #HomeEd #History

Listen to @oblaize.bsky.social he knows what he's talking about! Come and join Otis and Justice2History for their workshop on Decolonisation and the British Empire. Tickets available here SHP Summer Conference 2025 | Leeds Trinity University Online Store share.google/6BoMprddy3g1...

Paula is a genius. Her chapters in #ChangingHistoriesKS3 sing. And thanks to her, my 4 year old son, Roo, wants to know more about 'the queen type lady' (Nur Jahan) and how she liked to ride elephants and hunt tigers. Thank you Paula for your amazing dedication to this project.

Mmm...I wonder which story book I'll read to my 4 year old at bedtime??! Have you got your copies of #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds yet? If so please share on BlueSky. I love seeing copies out in their natural habitat!

Starting my Ireland unit with a Year 8 this week. Very much looking forward to getting stuck into it with the help of A New Focus on The British Empire #historyteacher

Delighted to see @counsellc.bsky.social recognised with an OBE. Where would we be without her wisdom on history, curriculum, assessment? She has profoundly shaped me as a history teacher and curriculum leader. schoolsweek.co.uk/kings-birthd...

Huge congratulations to #changinghistoriesks3 series editor @counsellc.bsky.social for her OBE. Contrary to popular belief it doesn't stand for 'Officer of the Order of the British Empire'. It's actually *O*ne *B*ook *E*very year to acknowledge the Yr7, 8 and 9 history textbooks we're publishing.😜

🚨Booking now for Oct & beyond. Drop me an email 📧 Sept is fully booked ‼️👇🏻 #Historyteacher #GCSE @aqaeducation.bsky.social @tracyborman.bsky.social

An absolute pleasure. What a complete joy to work on this! Really enjoying supporting schools who are embracing Changing Histories and seeing a much richer, coherent, beautifully constructed curriculum as a result.

In this photo are my two babies....and Rupert and Henry 😂 We're thrilled to announce that Changing Histories: Expanding Worlds c1600-c1870 is now out! Thank you to all the incredible people involved in this project and to everyone who's already ordered a copy/class set! You have impeccable taste. X

I don't read many edu-books these days but this one was worth making an exception for. An excellent primer condensing lots of writing and discourse in the subject community. Strongly recommended, especially to History ITTs, teachers who didn't get much quality subject input in training and new HoDs.

I can't think of a better team to write this book. Congrats @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social . History teachers- please do check it out.

Devastated to learn of history author Ben Armstrong's passing. A routine doctor check last autumn revealed he had terminal cancer. Such a tragic loss of a brilliant man who was still so young and had so much to give. Rest in peace Ben. You'll be sorely missed.

1. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to announce the launch of the @1972shp.bsky.social South-West History Forum! The inaugural event will be taking place on June 18 in Bristol, with a stellar lineup: Michael Riley, @paulalobo.bsky.social and @tomallenhistory.bsky.social

Would anyone teaching Edexcel A Level politics be willing to have a 20 minute chat about future resources? Drop me a DM. Thanks!

Reading should be a pleasure in each subject. So build it in, don't bolt it on. Let the scholarship used to design the lessons ooze through, in its cadences, rhythms & latent questions. And climb in thro well-crafted text: don't introduce knowledge as tidy, generalised facts. Publication in June...

Meanwhile, in the Dutch Republic... How to launch histories of trade and empire through stories of science & art, through sense of place, through specific people. An early chapter in forthcoming #ChangingHistoriesKS3 for Year 8 Beautiful writing about Vermeer, by Rachel Foster

So happy that the scholarship of Ruby Lal, Emma Griffin, James Boyce, Vincent Brown and others will shine in this textbook - it was such a pleasure and privilege to work with historians, & the integration of images and text is spellbinding. Bravo @counsellc.bsky.social @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social

We’ve gone to press for #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds! It’ll be hitting our warehouse on 13 June so do get your orders in! In my 10+ years of history publishing, I honestly think this is one of the best books we’ve produced. Spell-binding narrative, stunning visuals and super accessible.

Makes me v happy when peop are not only kind enough to share this labour of love of 4 yrs (thank you Katie ❤️) but brilliantly sum up what we strove for: tight disciplinary focus (no dud EQs), rich engaging stories. If you want extended reading integrated into KS3, check out #ChangingHistoriesKS3

It has been wonderful to spend a few days amongst so many people who genuinely value and appreciate my contribution/role in the history teaching community. Thank you for always making me feel like I belong, even though I'd be a rubbish teacher! You're friends first, authors second. #haconf25

Another @michaeldoron.bsky.social workshop, another time my mind is blown 🤯 Mike's approach to teaching GCSE History through enquiries is pure genius. Come spec change, I know who I'll be hitting up... #haconf25

A lovely acknowledgement of the role #ChangingHistoriesKS3 and the fantastic author team has played on @petejackson.bsky.social and @benbassett.bsky.social in their teaching of GCSE history through stories. Thank you Pete and Ben and congrats on your #haconf25 session.

Always a joy to sit in on @jacobolivey.bsky.social 's workshops. Jacob has crafted a really unique take on teaching Hitler's rise to power through autobiographies. If only there was a textbook chapter on this publishing next year 🤔 #haconf25

Two outstanding Hachette Learning authors and remarkable individuals, sorely missed by all. A touching tribute to Helen Snelson and Nicolas Kinloch to kick off #haconf25
