Okay.. its done. My first proper attempt at writing a historical story to encourage world building and providing a sense of period. Please let me know what you think? What to tweak? Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall? #historyeducation #historyteacher

#historyteacher does anybody have a story on the Vikings I can use or point me in the direction of information I can use to create one. This is aimed at year 7. Want a story to open up my new EQ 'Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall'? @simonbeale.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social

Margaret Beaufort was brilliant, wasn’t she? Just a powerhouse.
I have been catching up on @nathenamin.bsky.social and @nicolatallis.bsky.social’s course today. I’m teaching Y12 all about her next week! #historyteacher I hope their reaction is better than Y7’s horrified howls (A baby at 13!)

Something that has always concerned me though is that the lower grades of a level 2 qualification does not usually allow students entrance to level 3 A levels (usually STEM and generally for good reason). This has always felt wrong in terms of progression pathways. 2/2

First lesson with Y12, anyone? #historyteacher (got to bring the drama!)
⚔️ The 21st August. The tense, anxiety-ridden night before battle, when two men enter the arena but only one can leave the king. I've written about this in today's newsletter, which should be nestled in your mailboxes waiting to be read 📬

Bosworth: The Night Before Battle
And all across the fields, in the night nothing stirred, except Richard the Third (maybe)

Wrapped another results day as HOD. Very proud of all my students. They did themselves proud. I am already thinking of tweaks and improvement for next year, but that is the nature of the job and for now (today) will just live in the present. #sleptin #missedmyalarm #notreadyforschool #historyteacher

An amazing history festival that i found out about not too long ago. Really enjoyed revisiting old topics, learning new things, and meeting absolutely legends of the discipline. Also gave me an excuse to visit Southwark Cathedral.

Have seen the Policy Exchange "Lessons from the Past" report pop up a bit recently (in rel to Curric review & depts looking at their curriculua). Thought it was time I had a look..
Quick ver: some useful but not novel findings in a problematic package full of contradictions. #historyteacher

Exam boards better give students the mark for making the claim that the belief of miasma has continued to the modern period for the 2025/26 exam series
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.
Ancient miasma theory may help explain Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s vaccine moves

It's that time of year when we evaluate our curriculum. I would really appreciate it if anyone could have a look over ours. What are we missing? What needs changing? Does it flow properly? Does it prepare students from KS4 & 5?
Any Feedback much appreciated. #historyteacher

Americans put sugar in all kinds of dishes that don’t require it. And one of the main reasons for this national aberration is … Prohibition. 🧵
