This is the perfect resource for #historyteacher s who are keen to maintain disciplinary authenticity when asked to implement whole school policy and approaches. I hope it leads many #historyteachers to understand the importance of engaging with the wider community! 3/3

@catherinepriggs.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social have done a super job of exploring history-specific practice and integrating this with the more generalised instructional coaching toolkit/ teaching techniques approach of the walk thrus series. 2/

Many of us involved in #historyteacher #TeacherEducation have been keen to see subject, & distinctive nature of our discipline, re-centred in the recent focus on instructional coaching & core-practices in schools. It was brilliant, therefore, to read 'Secondary History in Action'. 1/

I can't think of a better team to write this book. Congrats @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social . History teachers- please do check it out.

It’s the result of many hours of hard work, late-night conversations with brilliant co-authors @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and grappling with big questions in history education.

Really excited about presenting this series for @histassoc.bsky.social – starting this Wednesday, 4 June, 4pm.

In the first webinar, @jacobolivey.bsky.social and I will explain why we think children don't need to 'do history' to learn history.

Recordings will be available. Link below! πŸ”—πŸ‘‡

It was absolutely lovely to see you too and thanks so much for your session. It is so easy to feel squashed by assessment demands at GCSE and you showed another way!

Reflecting on an excellent #HAConf25 as I return to school! I always struggle to look to the future at this time of year and feel I have run out of ideas. I left the conference energised and excited again. A brilliant location too!

Absolutely! I also think that insight might be useful when considering how to use AI productively. We need to ask which elements of thinking we are willing/happy to have replaced and which we are not.

This is going to be so exciting. If you like the idea that the pastis an imagined world to your students, come and think/discuss to how other people do it!

Last year was bloody brilliant, absolute source of joy.
