Thanks Christine. Our most ambitious DTC lineup yet.

Well worth attending this. If you're new to history teaching especially then know that @1972shp.bsky.social has a long tradition of really outstanding subject-specific CPD. This is a great programme. Stimulating, varied, topical, rigorous. Check it out or ask @danlyndon.bsky.social for more info.

I am absolutely thrilled that the @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers' Conference has signed up 95 teachers of history for Saturday, nearly doubling last year's attendance. BUT I really want to hit three figures so am offering 5 free places to the first 5 people who DM me asking for them!

10 days to go until the SHP Yorkshire History Forum! Looking forward to sharing principles for teaching Transatlantic Slavery with a local history lens 🔎 @1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social tickets still available 🎟

It has been a great pleasure to work with and discuss the challenges facing teaching and education with @barbarableiman.bsky.social and @engmediacentre.bsky.social . As the blog notes, English and History have much in common when it comes to making the case for an empowering education for all.

I have just been writing awards for this year's submissions to #CurriculumPATHS. Has reminded me what a wonderful array of units we have here already - each grounded in a set of common Principles for history teaching. www.padlet.com/cpaths/hub

This looks to be a great conference as ever. I cannot emphasise how much @1972shp.bsky.social and conference has shaped me as a teacher. History teacher Glastonbury. But with better toilets.

Thanx @danlyndon.bsky.social! It's the @1972shp.bsky.social itself that's truly legendary (truly the Glastonbury of the mind) & it's always a tremendous honour 2 join SHP colleagues in Leeds. Looking 4ward 2 talking with history teachers about constructing & deconstructing stories in class in July!

It's not enough for students to know concepts in history. They have to question and critique them.

Final part of a blog on substantive concepts and the language of history, previewing our upcoming @1972shp.bsky.social workshop.

We are also launching an Ethical History Planning Award for Beginning Teachers in ITE. This award is to celebrate the work of new teachers who are committed to ethical planning but who have not had lots of time to test their work. This comes with a new ITE Planning Lab for sharing!

These award came from our desire to develop a professional learning community committed to putting pupil-centred ethical considerations at the heart of their history planning and teaching. It has never felt more important. Now we want to celebrate all the people who are taking part in this mission.

News: Introducing the SHP #CurriculumPATHS Ethical History Teaching Awards

We are seeking to recognise the amazing work of #historyteacher s all over the UK, who put ethics at the heart of their classrooms.
