@htenuk.bsky.social are pleased to be holding a half day online conference on 27th November addressing the important issue of how #TeacherEducation can prepare #teachers to address sensitive and controversial issues in these times when it might feel safer for #schools to avoid these topics.

Really productive meeting of @htenuk.bsky.social committee yesterday. We're excited about our upcoming online conference (27th Nov) AND our in-person conference (20th March). Watch this space for more details of conferences & a new initiative!

In febrile times, exploring how we prepare teachers to address SCIs feels all the more important. We're delighted Rob Kanter and @helenfcarr.bsky.social will be sharing their important work and experiences with us at the next @htenuk.bsky.social conference.

Make sure it is in your diary. 🗓️
Join @htenuk.bsky.social for our November half-day online conference as we grapple with important questions in history educational research, teacher preparation, teacher professional development and teaching in schools.

New article published by @htenuk.bsky.social co-Chairs @victoriacrooks.bsky.social and @lauralondo1017.bsky.social and our greatly missed former committee member Helen Snelson exploring the impact of subject-specific #mentoring on #historyteacher #mentors.

We are at T-5 and there are a few tickets left for Teaching History in a 'Post-Truth' World. Tickets are just £15 and, in addition to hearing from the wonderful Jeremy Hayward and @corinnefowler.bsky.social, you also get entry to the BCLM (though you will have to pay for your own fish and chips!)
Just 10 days to go before this fantastic event at the Black Country Living Museum. Places are filling up, but we still have a few tickets left! Make sure you secure yours before they are all gone:

Here is a question for #HistoryEducation. What makes a good Teaching History article? A short thread for #historyteacher s.
Teaching History is a journal published by @histassoc.bsky.social and read by thousands of teachers. (Is that the right 'number'?)

An interesting read for #historyteacher #TeacherEducation #HistoryEducation colleagues.
Please do read this! Lots of overlaps between English and History and some potential ways forward to address some of the challenges we face. It's good to kick down those silos! ##historyeducation #historyteacher @arthurjchapman.bsky.social @fredoxby.bsky.social @petejackson.bsky.social
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...
