Farage: epic grifter

Just hoping that one day soon, people will tire of targeting and terrifying asylum seekers and instead, they will turn on politicians who whip up hatred and division to grab at power for themselves…
They are the ones who are failing us.
Not these people.
Prejudice can never make anyone’s life better

Sexism in the History Curriculum - End Sexism in Schools End Sexism In School’s second crowd research project is looking into the History curriculum taught at KS3 (years 7-9) in England and Wales.

We’re launching the results of our research into gender balance in the History curriculum today.

The report - The Great History Heist: Reclaiming Women’s Place in the History Curriculum - found only 12% of History lessons feature women as their main focus. 59% featured no women at all.

School history lessons minimise the role of women, report finds Campaigners say key stage 3 curriculum plays to misogny and teaches a ‘false version of the past’

This report is entirely valid, and I welcome it. However, glancing at the Key Stage 3 curriculum, I can see how it's happened -- there's little emphasis on social history or non-political biography

That would be good wouldn’t it! We’re still with edexcel. Looked at OCR B last year and it looks good but didn’t appeal enough to do all the work of moving.. good luck with it all!

Yeah, 6 weeks is long enough to feel like I’ve forgotten how to teach 😆 good luck with the spec switch, which one have you moved to?

If we ask should we teach history of Empire and race, including its controversies and complexities, then 73% of black respondents + two-thirds of white & Asian respondents think this matters

8% of white & minority respondents against

There will be challenges to get that right, of course

Hi! You too :) I’m good thanks, how are you?

Just finished this book with my 8 year old. I have never known him SO invested in the outcome of a story (I was pretty invested too!) and so engaged with the themes it raises. An absolutely brilliant book, really recommend!

Thanks so much for letting us share our lessons! They’re all on CurriculumPATHS if anyone wants them. It was a fabulous weekend, thank you to everyone, so many ideas! :)
