Went to see a fantastic performance of Small Island at Leeds Playhouse tonight. Amazing cast and so well told. It’s coming to Birmingham and Nottingham next - would thoroughly recommend

The Jetsons lied to us

This was a really fantastic book - powerful story of hope and survival in the face of oppression Would make a great case study for @teach-envi-history.bsky.social or anyone wanting to broaden out their USA units. #historyteacher libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

Last chance to book a place at the SHP workshop 'How to build a robot historian' (still loads of places for the livestream). Teacher presentations about how to train AI for the KS1-KS5 history classroom alongside Marnie Hughes-Warrington's keynote. Email [email protected] to register

Jeremy Hayward presenting on challenges of conspiracy theories, disinformation and dangerous ideas @htenuk.bsky.social conference at Middlesex University

I analysed almost 500 inspections to see if schools with disadvantaged intakes are performing worse on pupil outcomes. The findings show that it's disproportionate. Heads say it's demoralising as they urge Ofsted not to confuse achievement & attainment.

It’s a misty start!! Off to @htenuk.bsky.social conference. Looking forward to some fantastic sessions and to catchup up with everyone.

Spent some time today considering adaptive teaching and what makes history so tricky. Strong starting point and issues which I hope the DfE consider carefully in the upcoming curriculum review! Also had great fun using a zones of consensus task with the reading. Definitely using this more now.

An interesting read for @htenuk.bsky.social members.

Friends, @alixhui.bsky.social and I and 70+ historians have been working on this gigantic project for three years and it finally feels like it's going to be real.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

We have a vacancy for a teacher of History. Come and join our wonderful History department! @victoriacrooks.bsky.social mynewterm.com/jobs/112989/...

What next for the National Curriculum? Some thoughts on the upcoming changes, what we know, and how we can ensure the curriculum truly meets the needs of young people #historyteacher #ukedchat

So important 2 ensure that curricula are co-constructed in & by communities of expert educators. Great to see the @1972shp.bsky.social continuing its 50+ year project of promoting collaborative teacher-driven curriculum research and development.

Curriculum PATHS is committed to delivering empowering history for young people in their unique contexts. We trust in the expertise and professionalism of history teachers to enable this. We depend on teachers like you to collaborate and share units which speak to the PATHS Principles.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

This evening we were thrilled to host @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social and hear her insights about extinction and how it is presented in natural history museums in her new book Ghosts Behind Glass. A must-read for all nature and museum lovers!

This sounds absolutely fab and one of the many reasons I love the SHP conference

Excited to host a workshop at SHP again this year... this time, ditching the seminar room setting for a walking tour of LTU and into Horsforth, to show that colonial links truly are everywhere! Inspired by the wonderful @corinnefowler.bsky.social 's Our Island Stories' walking tours 🚶‍♀️🌍

Just a few places left for our in-person workshop with Marnie Hughes-Warrington (but unlimited space on the livestream!) on Monday March 30th. It's a superb opportunity to explore how History teachers can use their disciplinary expertise 2 train AI models and make them work better for our students.

Really helpful set of resources here from @antontreuer.bsky.social for anyone teaching GCSE American West courses. Also includes a link to the Minnesota Essential Understandings documents, which are really helpful too I think antontreuer.com/resources

THE SECRET OF KELLS STUDIO IS DOING A MOVIE ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AN IRISH FAMINE REFUGEE AND A CHOCTAW BOY???

Today: US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elem. school in Minab, Iran. Death toll 80+ 💔 1953: US & Britain orchestrated a coup d’etat that toppled the democratically elected gov't. of Iran. Shah took power & signed over 40% of Iran’s oil fields to U.S. companies. www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ir...

Jesus Christ! This is not a "targeted operation". This is following the same playbook as Gaza. It is the innocents who suffer.

Final chance to register for the Schools History Project's fascinating webinar on Gardening and Medicine with presentations for both primary and secondary teachers of history. Email [email protected] before 12 noon on Sunday March 1.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

“We are not a DEI programme… we were here long before the United States existed”

Yet another brilliant blog from @victoriacrooks.bsky.social. This time exploring why Trainees can struggle to focus on pupil learning and what we can do to help them become more reflective practitioners uonhistoryteachertraining.school.blog/2026/02/13/l...

Today we are launching the 2026 SHP Summer Conference, which will be taking place July 10-12 at Leeds Trinity. This year, due to the huge increase in proposals for workshops, we have extended our offer to 46 wonderful workshops for primary and secondary teachers of history (see below for a taster!

I mean the guy is hideous, but I am actually super supportive of the idea of solving international conflicts by sending certain world leaders to sit in a lion’s den overnight

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I studied over 400 hate-ridden headlines from The Telegraph about the Trans+ community and what emerged was a new artwork currently exhibiting in Brixton. This is ‘The Telegraph’s Phantasm, 2026’ CW: lots of nastiness

Two awesome events coming soon from the Schools History Project: 1) March 2 5-6pm on the SHP YouTube Channel - UNEARTHED2: Medicine and Gardening. Join us for a micro keynote on Women in Medieval Medicine from Dr Natasha Hodgson @teachmedwomen.bsky.social ...

It really tells you something about Where We Are (tm) that Rubio is willing to be so transparently honest here.

The teacher wasn’t fired, though. He quit twice. There’s no “potentially dangerous precedent” being set here, because the “Go Gestapo” guy wasn’t fired! Instead, we should be talking about LASD history teacher Ricardo Lopez, who was actually fired for opening a gate to keep his students safe.

A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump said the government “failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees.”

The UK is going to hell in handcart right now, but I’m relieved to say that it’s still inconceivable that our head of state/government would single out individual athletes at the #Olympics for abuse. The USA is in a dark place. A remarkable article.

Fantastic piece on how collective action and care taking, led by Indigneous peoples, is challenging the federal occupation of Minnesota. Both inspiring and humbling to see how people from all different backgrounds and walks of life have come together. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-bluepr...

The occupation of MN has not been broken. The regime would like us to believe that narrative so we focus on something else. But it is still going on and still brutal.
