Here's the first in a series of posts looking in detail at the workshops for the Schools History Project's Developing Teachers' Conference, Sat Jan 31st '26. Kicking us off is the SHP legend, Dale Banham, who'll be helping you to motivate your secondary history students #DTC26

Word of the day, should you be feeling a little huffish, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude and the desire to be away from other people.

Watched Talamasca. Then discovered Interview with the Vampire series from last year. Really enjoyed both. Love a modern/supernatural crossover.

Too much to do, a million things to mark, completely exhausted, and ill for over a week now. I need a break 🤯🤯

My BHM assembly this year was about Claudette Colvin, and in previous years has been about the women of Montgomery and their tireless efforts. Movements take time and effort. A brilliant article.

Casually met some ferrets today. Childhood dream achieved

The irony of being too ill and too busy to attend a well-being event 😭

Ed tech and the best lesson I taught this year.
The best Ed tech in the world for my subject is a book.
It is the ideal delivery method because the effort of concentrating on it helps people learn what's in it.

Oh no Emmy!! Wishing you a speedy recovery pal xxx

Apparently I’ve taken more photos of books I want to buy than ones I’ve actually read…but I read this one. And Picture Imperfect. And Stephen Fry’s Odyssey.

Omg Carmel this is the best news!!! Congrats!!

I clearly wasn’t paying attention when Busted reformed because there’s a whole set of re-releases that are even better than the originals.
