Finally making a lesson on the remarkable Adelard of Bath! #historyteacher

Missed this. Definitely going to book again!

First two lessons made! 3 more to go

Okay.. its done. My first proper attempt at writing a historical story to encourage world building and providing a sense of period. Please let me know what you think? What to tweak? Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall? #historyeducation #historyteacher

#historyeducation It's coming together! Will definitely post the finished product on here to get some feedback

#historyteacher does anybody have a story on the Vikings I can use or point me in the direction of information I can use to create one. This is aimed at year 7. Want a story to open up my new EQ 'Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall'? @simonbeale.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social

Margaret Beaufort was brilliant, wasn’t she? Just a powerhouse. I have been catching up on @nathenamin.bsky.social and @nicolatallis.bsky.social’s course today. I’m teaching Y12 all about her next week! #historyteacher I hope their reaction is better than Y7’s horrified howls (A baby at 13!)

History gets confusing fast. Characters cut through the noise. 🔥 Ben Bassett, Deputy Head of History in West London, on why stories make history unforgettable. 🎧Listen now open.spotify.com/episode/2cYo... 🎙️Host: @carmelbones.bsky.social

Something that has always concerned me though is that the lower grades of a level 2 qualification does not usually allow students entrance to level 3 A levels (usually STEM and generally for good reason). This has always felt wrong in terms of progression pathways. 2/2

First lesson with Y12, anyone? #historyteacher (got to bring the drama!)

Wrapped another results day as HOD. Very proud of all my students. They did themselves proud. I am already thinking of tweaks and improvement for next year, but that is the nature of the job and for now (today) will just live in the present. #sleptin #missedmyalarm #notreadyforschool #historyteacher

An amazing history festival that i found out about not too long ago. Really enjoyed revisiting old topics, learning new things, and meeting absolutely legends of the discipline. Also gave me an excuse to visit Southwark Cathedral. #southwarkhistoryfestival #summerhols @nicolatallis.bsky.social

Pleased to share some lesson resources on Billy Waters, accessible via the @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social website! Teaching Billy Waters, an African American sailor come Regency sensation, is a brilliant way to explore themes of agency, race and popular culture. ageofrevolution.org/billy-waters...

Immediately, yes! The first chapter has this question 'What connected Scotland to wider worlds?' #Scotlandthebrave

It's arrived!! #historyteachers

Have seen the Policy Exchange "Lessons from the Past" report pop up a bit recently (in rel to Curric review & depts looking at their curriculua). Thought it was time I had a look.. Quick ver: some useful but not novel findings in a problematic package full of contradictions. #historyteacher 🧵 /1

Exam boards better give students the mark for making the claim that the belief of miasma has continued to the modern period for the 2025/26 exam series

Well done to all those amazing history teachers out there! GCSE History 2025 - all done. #historyteacher

It's that time of year when we evaluate our curriculum. I would really appreciate it if anyone could have a look over ours. What are we missing? What needs changing? Does it flow properly? Does it prepare students from KS4 & 5? Any Feedback much appreciated. #historyteacher

It has arrived! Very excited to dive into this @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social

I heard the call. I have answered. Amazon said it will be delivered tonight 🙌🏿

Americans put sugar in all kinds of dishes that don’t require it. And one of the main reasons for this national aberration is … Prohibition. 🧵

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Transatlantic slavery. 4 teachers on the Radio talking about our book. Start 1 hour 11 mins in. @richkhistory.bsky.social @historyrichk.bsky.social @carmelbones.bsky.social @oblaize.bsky.social @drmirandakaufmann.bsky.social

Who else can't breathe properly until they come out of the exam...

GCSE History Paper 1 🙏🤞🏼🫶Well done all you’ve done all you can 💕

So wish I was there. Maybe one day!

Thank you for an amazing weekend @histfest.bsky.social @rebeccarideal.bsky.social @k8lister.bsky.social @katewilliamsme.bsky.social @nicolatallis.bsky.social #Lukepepra etc. My bank account does not... but I am a bookaholic and refuse to get help. See you next year ##HistFest2025

Historians will shrug at this headline because it’s obviously true (one might argue ‘Imperial’ a slightly better label, I suppose?) Presumably The Telegraph expects its readers to be outraged at this language? I’m not sure why

No prepared for this Q&A about Jane Austen Books. Need to reread these books. @histfest.bsky.social ##HistFest2025

Talk Number 1 about the amazing Jane Austen. Never realised the disparity of fashion between the Georgian and Victorian period. It's all about Muslin @histfest.bsky.social with Amber Butchart and Professor John Mullan #HistFest2025

On my way to day 2 of ##HistFest2025 had to run to catch my bus. That's my exercise of the day completed 💪 @histfest.bsky.social

Speakers no 3. Will never get tired of hearing stories from the Titanic. @stephenmcgann.uk @duncanbarrett.bsky.social and Dr Stephanie Barczewski ##HistFest2025 @histfest.bsky.social

Speaker no 2. Never been more blown away learning about the various and diverse histories of African culture. Also, I love a Herodotus name drop. Father of history. #HistFest2025

Talk number 1. Amazing hearing about the less discussed ewrly life of Elizabeth @histfest.bsky.social Amazing to hear from one of my favourite historian @nicolatallis.bsky.social #HistFest2025

Call to action from the history teaching community. What was the most life changing TH article you have ever read, and you would recommend every history teacher read. #historyteachers #HA #THarticles

It's always the way with me. Last minute assignments completion. The last 2 units to finish with one of the best CPD programmes on being a subject leader. #SLDP #HA

Trying out this activity from the seminal TH162 article by Alex Alcoe. Wish me luck. Will be heavily modelling this with students but hopefully will expand their causal understanding

Any help from history HOD (twitter? X? Blueskiers? 🤔) trying to come up with a progression model for second order concepts but really struggling as there are so many different way of doing it. Seen many curriculum SOW but if anybody is willing to share their SOC progression model, would be much...

Productive weekend. Finished marking KS3 assessments. I just need to log the data. Went to a conference on Saturday. Sunday Roast with friends on Sunday and made feedback lessons for my department. Is this the work-life balance people talk about. #onemoreweek

Thank you, Tracy Borman, for the deep dive into a man many people already know. But the unique look at the men who made him made me view Henry in a different light. My Y12s have so many extracts to read from this.

It was an amazing day listening to some amazing teachers in the profession. I can only hope to be as half a good practitioner. #Soane25 @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hannahcusworth.bsky.social @joshvallance.bsky.social #BethandSalma

God, reading about young Edward IV. Sounded like a little psychopath. Tearing a Falcon into pieces after not getting his way. England would have been different if he lived longer as king #henryviiiandthemenwhomadehim

Making my way downtown..... (Guess the song/singer) On my way to #Soane25

Thank you @hughrichards.bsky.social for the keeping writing messy CPD. Gave me a great idea for our year 8 assessments. For the first time, I really enjoyed students' responses.

#Soane25 is live! Come and join us on Saturday 8th February for a day with a *phenomenal* line up of speakers. Tickets are ONLY £25 (including lunch!) Don’t miss it! www.eventbrite.com/e/ark-soane-...

#historyteachers #help Trying to come up with a similarity and difference enquiry. Tentative EQ is 'How did different women experience life in the middle ages'. My 3 cases are Margery Kempe, Joan of Arc, and Shajar al durr. Is it a big deal breaker that Shajar is about 150 years out from the others.

BREAKING: A "smoking gun" has been found in the Princes in the Tower case The first trace of the boys' possessions has been found Edward V's chain has turned up in a 16th century will And it belonged to the sister-in-law of one of his alleged killers #history www.thetimes.com/article/0a66...
