📢 Free webinar for trainee teachers! 🧑‍🎓 This webinar is the second in a two-part series, and is designed to help trainee teachers prepare for interviews and trial lessons, and showcase their teaching potential, to make a lasting impression. Sign up here: my.chartered.college...

Pleased to see Emma Hollis of NASBTT calling for bursaries for all #ITT beginning teachers in yesterday's @tesmagazine.bsky.social "If teaching is important to society (as surely it must be), then why should we ask trainees to take on debt in order to be able to do it?" WE AGREE!

@htenuk.bsky.social recently wrote to SoS at DfE requesting reinstatement of bursaries for beginning #ITT #historyteacher & #primaryteacher s to remove barriers to access & relieve hardship in training. Join us in raising this issue with your MP - support can be found on our website www.hten.org.uk

Well I finally pushed the button. Now I have 6 months to tighten up my research plans to explore curriculum making of IT educators in planning for climate change and sustainability in ITE 😬

Teachers and teacher-educators who are looking for hope in these troubled times might be interested in this webinar @liching22.bsky.social and I are doing next week on teaching for #hope. Everyone is welcome to join. @edusky.bsky.social #socialstudies #sschat #iteachsocialstudies #civiceducation

What are the routes to delivering Labour's pledge to 'recruit 6,500 new teachers'? Our new analysis out today gives our view on the options available to policymakers In sum: 6,500 is not trivial to achieve & requires a combination of new policies to deliver www.nfer.ac.uk/publications... 🧵👇

Excitingly, my first blog post for the GA was published today! All about the practical use of AI in the secondary geography classroom! Let me know what you think! #geographyteacher ga-blog.org/2024/12/03/f...

🚨 NEW POST 🚨 ‘Disciplinary talk’ Learning through disciplinary talk can include: - Reasoning in maths - Hypothesis discussions in science - Decision-making exercises in geography - Improvisation & reflection in drama alexquigley.co.uk/disciplinary...

Just reposting some geology knowledge organizers I made and posted on Twitter back in the day. I hope some people find them useful! #EduSky #Geogchat #GeographyTeacher #STEMTeacher #EarthScience #Geology drive.google.com/file/d/11LS-...

Excited to be at the start of a new project exploring how to talk about #controversial & #divisive issues by co-constructing lessons with young people. This was just the opening list of suggested topics in a consultation with 12-16 year olds. It’s going to be a fascinating #citizenship #pshe project

A little project I've been working on recently required some wider reading - many a extract was borrowed from this. The section on the poverty line was such an inspiration for one of my #geographyteacher lessons created🙏🏽 tinyurl.com/yxzxdbp3

Joe is a master of wonderful portmanteau words. 'Anecdata' is the most recent one. Challenging Q&A session including contributions from @lauralondo1017.bsky.social @davidrawlings.bsky.social Katharine Burn @tremainebaker.bsky.social Gary Mills. 9/

Very pleased to be immersed with #HTENUK colleagues a great community for #HistoryEducation

There are some really fantastic people on this commission, but of the 16 commissioners, it looks like only 2 are currently teaching, which to me is a shame. schoolsweek.co.uk/why-were-lau... teachingcommission.co.uk/commissioners/

HTEN are pleased to endorse @histassoc.bsky.social 's Curriculum Review response. Extensive consultation with our subject community, including through the annual primary & secondary surveys, have enabled a response reflecting our community's collective voice. 👇 www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

Looking forward to launching Living Under Nazi Rule this week and using this historical story about Marinus Van der Lubbe slightly adapted from excellent work from @hughrichards.bsky.social that he shared with us in his session in York a few months ago. #itsthewaythatyoutellem

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... could this story hold some secrets to teacher retention?

Do you want changes to the national curriculum for England? Bearing in mind the level of environmental education is "severely lacking" please complete the DfE call for evidence. You don't have to be in education, anyone can give feedback by this Friday 👇🏽 consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-a...

New blog post! For all those RE teachers filling in the Curriculum and Assessment Review and calling for an RE National Curriculum - some ideas for local study units - researched and shared by SACREs #TeamRE #Edusky 🍎 rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/11/20/a...

Great KS3 Geography resources from GTE colleagues. Looking forward to hearing more about how these are being used geography.org.uk/resources/gl...

More dates added and the next one is tomorrow - if you are a UK student teacher, ECT or mentor, please consider sharing your wisdom on well-being… £10 book tokens to eligible participants to say thanks!

I first heard this story on the Reteach podcast - a great episode with @carmelbones.bsky.social , @katieamery.bsky.social and @spbeale.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

I am shamelessly resharing my blog on why I think it is time for a National Curriculum for RE. #TeamRe rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2024/11/04/i...

What's better than a bunch of pre-made history resources? Teachers working together to build the resources they need to pursue justice through history. Find out more about SHP #CurriculumPATHS and be part of claiming back our profession #historyteacher www.schoolshistoryproject.co.uk/curriculumpa...

Really excited by this new part of the #CurriculumPATHS project. We are collaborating with various bodies to share sources and interpretations to inspire #historyteacher s in their planning for school. Our first set is a collab with the BL looking at Britain and India 1600-1947. Please share!

Just given this an update to include some exciting new #historyteacher people! If you’re going to be tweeting (?) about history teaching and I’ve missed you out, let me know! go.bsky.app/BTJ8SaJ

Calling those who are interested in #geography #climatechange & geo-engineering 📣 This looks like a promising watch. I’m looking forward to discussing this with students later this week…

If the DfE want a coloured grading system here's one they need to check out! All school settings are going to be in the red.

Looking to read around a geography topic? I worked in this project with wonderful geographers including @geogramblings.com - hope it is useful! reteach.org.uk/subject/geog... #GeogChat #EduSky

Not sure whether to laugh or cry. After years of planning to implement the crazy idea of a 20 hour mentoring programme it is finally scrapped. I just hope this eases the pressure on finding ITT placements that I know we are all struggling with schoolsweek.co.uk/excessive-20...

A new paper out from our #DICEY project exploring #Youth #Climate❓Challenging technofixes & calls for socio-political action - great to work with Lynda Dunlop as always! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hello new followers 👋. I'll be playing catch up over the next few days/ weeks. In the meantime, here is a small thread of posts that help explain my thinking on #teachereducation and my research interests: uonhistoryteachertraining.school.blog/2021/08/11/e... 1/5

Welcome to new (and former) Twitter people. Have lost around 6000 people in the transition over here but am resolutely not going back to Twitter until Musk is gone! Welcome. I hope you enjoy BlueSky #edusky. Whilst I’m here, do please follow @1972shp.bsky.social for some exciting projects too!

For many teachers, the retrieval quiz is a standard lesson starter – but too often we fall victim to these mistakes when using it, writes @ensermark.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

@dav1dm0rgan.bsky.social thanks for a great session on using ARG GIS. Really good to see Mdx trainees so enthusiastic about using it. teachwithgis.co.uk/pages/teach-...
