This looks fantastic!

I echo everything @petejackson.bsky.social said! Thanks for all your work organising the trip, Pete.

Thank you so much to SHP for the opportunity to do this workshop. And thank you to everyone who came along! Some really useful discussions in the room.

It was a great start to the weekend yesterday! Looking forward to more inspiring sessions today.

#SHP25 is fast approaching, the excitement is rising, the workshops are being finalised, the keynotes are being drafted, the exhibitions are being mounted & the bar is being stocked! Ticket sales end July 4th so not long left to grab 'em from store.leedstrinity.ac.uk/product-cata... Come and join us

Sad not to be at this year's HA conference, and looking forward to hearing all about it from @petejackson.bsky.social on Monday. On the plus side, it's a lovely day to recce our Y7 site study trip to Rievaulx Abbey!

It'd be a pleasure to share Tom's post even without the opportunity to win three of his books. He writes excellent, well researched historical fiction for young people. Highly recommend to history teachers, parents and anyone who enjoys a good story!

Using stories in the classroom - a thread...
Here is the 1st story that myself and @benbassett.bsky.social worked on from Sept on Sacagawea. Here is the most recent one on Thomas Tresham for Elizabethans.
Here is a thread of 10 things I've learned this year about telling better historical stories

It's a real privilege mentoring beginning teachers and helping them embark on their first steps as History teachers. So proud of @lydiawigley.bsky.social and all that she has achieved so far. And I love that we will meet again as part of the big History teaching community.

Schools Week have devised a quiz!

Higher or Lower! Can you spot which statement in the Ofsted framework is for the higher grade?!

Leon's story is at the centre of our Y9 Holocaust lessons and telling it is such a moving moment for me as a teacher and so powerful for our students. It's so important that we keep telling these stories. And thanks to the @uclholocaust.bsky.social for all their help with resources and CPD.

This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why homework is done.
Doing the homework, thinking, should support learning.

This seems to suggest the purpose of homwork is just to generate the work. A culture of doing, not learning.

Thinking matters.

Just 10 days left to get your tickets!

Calling Yorkshire history departments! I have an ex-pupil in desperate need of an ITT placement from 24/2-27/6.

She is living in York and has a car.

Can anyone help? Please RT and share in MAT networks etc if possible?

Thanks so much in advance!

This will be great! I'm really enjoying using these stories with GCSE students to help them really understand the period.
