Really important- we need something to hang it all on! @msquinnhistory.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social #SHPDTC26

Really looking forward to this! I would love to work in a middle school and am very jealous as a result. @1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @msquinnhistory.bsky.social #SHPDTC26

Interesting ideas @1972shp.bsky.social @rjharris.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social #SHPDTC26

Emotional understanding/empathy- interesting @rjharris.bsky.social Current! For me at least! #SHPDTC26 @1972shp.bsky.social

eally relevant session about children’s emotional engagement with the past @1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social I’ve been thinking a lot about empathy currently so this is helping! #SHPDTC26

Connie loved Stuart Tiffany’s session about developing historical thinking- brilliant and useful as usual #SHPDTC26 @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social

Training or an Early Careers teacher in Yorkshire or Lancashire? Thinking of going to the @histassoc.bsky.social conference for the first time in May? The Jim Shields and Bob Unwin Bursaries, in honour of two great teachers, may help you get there! www.history.org.uk/aboutus/news...

I’ve cowritten chapter 10 and am very excited as I’ve never been in a book before!

Well said! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Next Monday begins my webinar series focusing on disciplinary concepts in primary history. @histassoc.bsky.social #teaching #history www.history.org.uk/primary/cate...

Come and work with us! It’s a fab university which is absolutely committed to its civic duties. Also- we are a fab team!

I totally support the National Year Of Reading initiative. We desperately need a culture of reading for pleasure to replace the culture of constant testing in schools, backed by proper government funding. And we need STORYTIME to be part of the school day, every day! #literacy (Art: Chris Riddell)

Kicking-off day 2 of @1972shp.bsky.social Conference 2025 with @colinmccormick.bsky.social & @cpalmerhistory.bsky.social’s powerful presentation of local, national and international approaches to learning about Liverpool’s history of slave-trading and enslavement. #SHP25

Wishing everyone at #SHP25 a wonderful time full of learning and friendship. @danlyndon.bsky.social @apf102.bsky.social

When you teach- or observe teaching- how do you spot the difference between motivated and engaged pupils and compliance?

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 ...

So Oak's new AI lesson planner has really got me thinking. Who exactly is it aimed at? My guess is that the most likely people to use it are new teachers and those with limited subject knowledge on a topic. So how well does it do the job if that's you? I thought I'd try it out...

Trying to write about what history is and this was unexpected

#SHP25 is fast approaching, the excitement is rising, the workshops are being finalised, the keynotes are being drafted, the exhibitions are being mounted & the bar is being stocked! Ticket sales end July 4th so not long left to grab 'em from store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata... Come and join us

I am increasingly concerned about accepting the damage AI does to the planet- should we really be doing that? We need that water…

AI- it’s outsourcing thinking surely and don’t we need to think? Isn’t thinking a key part of who we are and how we learn?

Delighted 2B joined @1972shp.bsky.social by my colleague Chris Edwards. We’ll be staffing a stand about @ioe.bsky.social’s MA in History Education & running a Fringe Session showcasing the brilliant work our students do. @ramble14.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social @justice2history.bsky.social

A sensational essay by @hallierubenhold.bsky.social inspired me to create this poster for our classrooms. It topples the Great Man Theory and advocates for more Social History. Something we are doing in our curriculum. Read the whole essay here. www.hallierubenhold.com/wp-content/u...

The next stage of the Curriculum and Assessment Review will look to create a more inclusive and fair system, address subject-specific challenges, and assess available pathways beyond GCSEs. Find out more ➡️ www.gov.uk/government/p...

I'm really looking forward to our next @htenuk.bsky.social conference as a fan of @tompalmerauthor.bsky.social 's books (they've been really impactful for my own children) & knowing how fab @knight-rupert.bsky.social is on #oracy . If you've not renewed your membership or joined HTEN, please do!
