I am absolutely thrilled that the @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers' Conference has signed up 95 teachers of history for Saturday, nearly doubling last year's attendance. BUT I really want to hit three figures so am offering 5 free places to the first 5 people who DM me asking for them!

It has been a great pleasure to work with and discuss the challenges facing teaching and education with @barbarableiman.bsky.social and @engmediacentre.bsky.social . As the blog notes, English and History have much in common when it comes to making the case for an empowering education for all.
So glad to have shared thoughts with @apf102.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social on school English & History. The results are a blog, raising issues of common concern & interest in our disciplines. Do read & respond in comments on the blog, here or elsewhere! englishandmedia.co.uk/blog/seconda...
