It is important for teachers to get their story voice. What in this story would get their pupils attention- this is a craft and a skill.

An incredible episode. Resilience in the face of life being hard. Realistic. Whilst promoting mental health. Some very hard truths.

Random musings from year 11. Is it true that the Pope sent Henry VIII cheese as a present for 'defending the faith' against Luther? @gregjenner.bsky.social
Is this something you could help us with?!

2018, I signed up for my first HA Conference. I was a TA and was in complete awe at everyone's brilliance and intelligence. Never believed I'd be presenting. It's been one hell of a journey, and I'm so excited/terrified to discuss key stage 3 curriculum #haconf2025

Several of our fans are already reporting a successful transition into 2025. If it turns out that it isn't worth it, please let us know as soon as possible. We will just reset the calendar to 1 Jan 1000 CE. Things were good here back then.

Finished British Depth Study Richard and John today. Stuff needs revisiting and revising, but on 2nd teach thru it's confirmed that its such a gorgeous topic to teach. The most wonderfully dysfunctional family - I'm amazed it's not been made into a TV series or film. So much fun

Such great CPD. One I value most to date. 100% recommend. 10 out of 10 etc etc. You won't regret it
Can you help me share some great news?
The @histassoc.bsky.social Subject Leader Development Programme has been given a Teach Secondary CPD award: we were Highly Commended!

We have now trained nearly SIX HUNDRED Subject Leaders of History, both in post and aspiring to the role.

This wholly fascinating and will help to rewrite so many narratives. Was completely unaware of this but will absolutely become part of future lessons.

This 18th-century écorché by Honoré Fragonard predates Body Worlds and plastination by 250 years. Fragonard never divulged his preservation methods. In 1771, he was expelled from his teaching position at the École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort as a madman.

This week has just summed up why teaching is just the best job.
Talking about the Crusader states states today, a yr11 asked me, 'is that where the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch came from?'
A year 7 got my 'this is just tribute' gag (awful btw) when talking about Cartimandua.
