I loved the focus that @hughrichards.bsky.social put on how stories work with all abilities - certainly somethings I’ve found in my classroom. Also loved the phrase ‘it’s a tool, not a script’. Finally the focus on being clear on your takeaways is essential. Check it out - it’s free CPD and brill.

British Empire assessment - short thread. Been doing lots of work this year on KS3 assessment inspired by some of the fab work from @hughrichards.bsky.social & @richkhistory.bsky.social on their outstanding HA webinar series. Really looking forward to seeing student responses.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Looking for more local stories around the Industrial Revolution in Yorkshire. I’m thinking Joseph Rowntree in York, Titus Salt in Saltaire, Rosedale, and maybe Middlesbrough too. Hit me up with any other good stories on this. Thinking of EQ around How did the IR change Yorkshire? #historyteacher

This is fantastic. Ben is a brilliant curriculum thinker and he’s working on some incredibly exciting things that will benefit many history teachers. I’ve learnt loads from working closely with him over the past year on historical stories. Congratulations @benbassett.bsky.social #historyteacher

This has been a fantastic project to work on with Ben. This book plus the recent BBC podcast have ensured this is rooted in the disciplinary. Always so crucial for authentic curricular stories. As @richkhistory.bsky.social said at #Soane25 ‘People, Place, Pinch of Discipline’

Finished reading this and I can’t tell you how fascinating this was. Watch this space for a collaboration between myself and @benbassett.bsky.social on how to use this story to teach the experience of the Netherlands during the Second World War for #OCRB #historyteacher

Story of Walter Raleigh - worked so well last week teaching Going Global #OCRB One thing I'm developing is using images from sources and fab artistic interpretations like Look and Learn for world-building. Equally important to include historical references & planned takeaways #historyteacher

The thing I really enjoyed about #soane25 yesterday was the people who explained how things hadn't worked first time. They were honest about their mistakes. Teaching isn't an exact science and it was joyful to hear of people's experimentation. More honesty and failures at conferences please.

Last night on train a guy few seats in front was asking conductor if he could print his ticket as phone running out of charge - conductor couldn’t! I always travel with chargers so happily lent him mine. Guy was so surprised I’d helped. World is so much better when we help each other out!
