Success in education is not just about grades. It is seen in the quiet child who finds their voice, the struggling pupil who keeps going, and the teacher who rediscovers their passion. These are the real achievements of a school.

The ever brilliant Dale Banham sharing his 7 core principles for really brilliant history lessons. Love the idea of the curriculum being both the mirror and the light #historyteacher

Finally getting around to reading this - published in 1985, around the time that the landmark documentary series The Dragon Has Two Tongues was released (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dra...). Thanks to Greg Williams for the copy! 1/2

Would love to have a conversation with you about professional identity if you can spare the time? I’m looking at this too in relation to curriculum design.

And if we attach the word β€˜science’ to everything, it has to be one single truth that requires no discourse πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Webinar series: Embracing messiness: teaching disciplinary thinking in history

If you're new to history teaching, I can't tell you how much you need this webinar series! The forthcoming webinar (10 Oct) is the perfect antidote to GCSE-led 'source work' that has damaged the integrity, rigour & fun of teaching evidential thinking in history. www.history.org.uk/secondary/ca...

Thank goodness for you. This depresses me on a daily basis. Was just thinking about the loud trains that feel impossible to stop some days. I find it unfathomable that learning in its own right and the excitement and joy that brings is not felt to be enough if it cannot be reduced to a measurement.

LIS: Meet the founder rewriting the UK's higher education playbook Ed Fidoe, co-founder of London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), on what value he’s trying to bring to the UK’s higher education system.

Interested in thoughts on interdisciplinary FE: increasingly we ask our learners to transfer their learning to new and unfamiliar contexts, do you see this taking off? Why?

I feel your pain. We needed higher fences when we caught them sitting on top of the shed and terrifying the neighbours by looking over the 8 foot fence πŸ™ˆ

Having been listening to this podcast, would highly recommend. Looking at everything we do through an equity lens is crucial to changing our education system and confronting the uncomfortable truths in our society. #collectiveresponsibility
