This is the perfect resource for #historyteacher s who are keen to maintain disciplinary authenticity when asked to implement whole school policy and approaches. I hope it leads many #historyteachers to understand the importance of engaging with the wider community! 3/3

@catherinepriggs.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social have done a super job of exploring history-specific practice and integrating this with the more generalised instructional coaching toolkit/ teaching techniques approach of the walk thrus series. 2/

Many of us involved in #historyteacher #TeacherEducation have been keen to see subject, & distinctive nature of our discipline, re-centred in the recent focus on instructional coaching & core-practices in schools. It was brilliant, therefore, to read 'Secondary History in Action'. 1/

Beyond excited to see this arrived today! @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and my lovely former HoD @egcarr.bsky.social - what a team 🌟

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

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.

It’s the result of many hours of hard work, late-night conversations with brilliant co-authors @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and grappling with big questions in history education.

Really excited about presenting this series for @histassoc.bsky.social – starting this Wednesday, 4 June, 4pm. In the first webinar, @jacobolivey.bsky.social and I will explain why we think children don't need to 'do history' to learn history. Recordings will be available. Link below! 🔗👇

Reflecting on an excellent #HAConf25 as I return to school! I always struggle to look to the future at this time of year and feel I have run out of ideas. I left the conference energised and excited again. A brilliant location too!

Final proofs are in… it’s going to print! 🎉🎉 @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @hachettelearning.bsky.social @teacherhead.bsky.social

This has been a long time coming! Looking forward to seeing this little history teaching handbook in print!

Very excited about this! Such a privilege to write with this amazing group.

It was an absolutely brilliant day and such a tonic! Thank you @michaeldoron.bsky.social and @jacobolivey.bsky.social.

Wow! So excited!!

Brilliant!

History community: please share as I’m not using X any more! Inspiring CPD tailored to experienced teachers who want to grapple with ‘new’ ideas (or challenge how new they really are), refresh pedagogy and expand networks. Brought to you by @histassoc.bsky.social, @andrewshtbc.bsky.social and me.

🚨 SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I'm very excited to announce the keynote speakers for our #Soane25 history teacher conference on Saturday, 8 February 2025. 👇 Read more below 👇 🎟️ Get tickets here: www.eventbrite.com/e/ark-soane-... (1/3)

This is going to be so exciting. If you like the idea that the pastis an imagined world to your students, come and think/discuss to how other people do it! Last year was bloody brilliant, absolute source of joy.

#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-...

This will be terrific!

“A balance of skills and knowledge” is no more meaningful a statement today than it was a decade ago - let’s avoid falling into the same tired cliches. We have better ways now for talking about curriculum design (although still a long way to go).

This is incredibly helpful (particularly as someone transitioning from subject leadership to school leadership). Thanks Cat!

New blog post Why Ofsted should not separate teaching from curriculum occamshairdryer.wordpress.com/2024/11/16/a...

This is great. I hope the right people read it!

Can you help me share some great news? The @histassoc.bsky.social Subject Leader Development Programme has been given a Teach Secondary CPD award: we were Highly Commended! We have now trained nearly SIX HUNDRED Subject Leaders of History, both in post and aspiring to the role. 1/

Follow Jess!

Hear, hear. Very pleased that @catpriggs.bsky.social is now available for consultancy and training. If you need strategic advice on senior curriculum leadership and especially on how to link teacher development with strong subject development (rather than with generic pedagogy), Cat is exceptional.

Follow Kate!

Cat is wonderful! She would be a great booking for any school.

Fascinating!

There may well be an existing thread for this but does anyone have recommendations for the best visualiser pens? I'm looking to refresh. Cc. @adamboxereducation.bsky.social @mrmountstevens.bsky.social

This has been such a great project to work on, with a fabulous team of co-authors. Exciting to see it off to the next stage of its journey to print!

I am beyond excited that @egcarr.bsky.social, @davidjhibbert.bsky.social, @hughrichards.bsky.social and I have submitted the first draft of Secondary History in Action🥳

This is really excellent! Thanks Owen!

Let’s say hello to these guys… @histassoc.bsky.social

If you are a SL and you want to be exposed to new ideas and practical guidance this is the course for you! I was the least experienced of the team when we created the course and just watching the videos of the others has made a huge difference to my work life!

To mark the start of the new term, we've made the primary and secondary subject networks free to access until Mon 9 September. You just need to create an account www.myattandco.com

@hughrichards.bsky.social and I wrote this blog post a couple of years back for new history subject leaders. Best of luck to those starting positions in September and hope this blog is of some use #historyeducation #historyteacher #educationleadership onebighistorydepartment.com/2022/06/24/i...
