Currently working as the Executive Officer for the History Teachers’ Association of NSW. I also write (mostly textbooks and articles) and teach on-and-off at UNSW and some secondary schools. History, teaching, writing, music, photography and adventure

Still a favourite quote to share with early career teachers. Worth knowing even a little bit of education history if you become a teacher. The re-invention and re-packaging can be mind-boggling, but if you know that's what's probably coming, you can more deftly navigate it.

I was at my old high school today, for the first time in over twenty years, to talk to the teachers about how their curriculum can better support students. AI came up, and so many teachers were saying "Well it's a tool, they have to know how to use it, it's the future so we have to accept it!"

If you listened closely to Hegseth and Trump, they were saying that the US military should be more like the Russian military--unaccountable for its actions, using lethality in favor of intelligence, and where training can be used to abuse recruits.

We've had evidence of this for ages, right? Frankly this feels like those endless UBI studies where they all demonstrate UBI works but that's not the answer the people in charge want to hear so nothing changes.

Students rate identical lectures differently based on professor's gender, researchers find
When philosophy students were asked to evaluate identical lectures assigned to men or women professors, their responses varied by gender. The study suggests gender bias plays a role in how teaching is...

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

From the very first edition of 'Teaching History' (NSW) in 1961. It's refreshing to see so many historic examples of thoughtful teachers working through popular pedagogy trends rather than jumping on bandwagons uncritically or taking up fundamentalist positions.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Just heard from a colleague who inquired about a job advert at a school and was told by a senior leader that they might find it difficult because their previous school (this leader has never worked at) 'is dedicated to discovery learning' and 'here we use Rosenshine'. Getting weirder by the day.

I know it doesn't mean a lot in the big scheme of things given that the category is so niche, but it's still a nice surprise to see my little book on Teaching History hit #1 on Amazon's bestseller list after 6 months in the wild. Its first review is a lovely 5/5 from a teacher in the UK.

Copies of my new book on the Pacific War have arrived! I really enjoyed working on this with an old friend and working some new features into the book. We worked hard to bring it up to date with recent scholarship while still ensuring that it’s accessible to students.
