What a fabulous weekend at #HAConf25

So lovely to collaborate with @catherinepriggs.bsky.social to share strategies for curriculum coherence and its impact. So many inspiring sessions and conversations, all in beautiful sunshine and Liverpool docks.

Thank you @histassoc.bsky.social team!

I'm very much looking forward to reading the work of great history teachers @benarscott.bsky.social @monsieurbenger.bsky.social and @paulalobo.bsky.social and others. What a great edition!

A lovely start to the weekend to receive the latest Teaching History in the post. I'm grateful to @histassoc.bsky.social for the opportunity to share my assessment journey in an article in this edition.

People, places and a pinch of discipline - @richkhistory.bsky.social rounded off the day perfectly. If we can live by that as history teachers, what wonderful imagined historical worlds our pupils will be helped to build. #Soane25

Jonnie Grande's thoughtful session exploring the tension between world building through concrete personal stories and the scale of international history was so useful, and really resonated with my experience. #Soane25

Very inspired by @michaeldoron.bsky.social 's use of the story of Hannah Mitchell to build the world of early 20th century socialism and suffrage. Clever storytelling makes her perspective so obvious, as though pupils are looking over her shoulder. #Soane25

Tom and Hannah also have maps to help their students situate a story geographically and relate these to other places they have studied.

My colleague and I were discussing the other day how to help our pupils situate each topic in time using timelines. Hannah Whittle and @tomallenhistory.bsky.social sharing how they have been working on this #Soane25

On my way to #Soane25 Can't wait! Safe travels everyone.

I am lucky enough to work in an amazing school and we have two exciting opportunities to join my department, teaching PRE or Geography. Either role could be a Second in Humanities. Here's why you should join us! 🧵 #TeamRE #Geogchat

Meanwhile Year 8 have encountered parish records, inventories, court records, portraits and thought about the implications of the printing press for communication and for historians. All so much easier to embed with #ChangingHistoriesKS3

Great half term trip to the Natural History Museum with my boys, who loved the T-Rex, obviously, but also the volcanoes and earthquakes section. Reminded me to recommend it to Y9. #GeogChat
