David Hibbert

Congratulations Cat! Beautifully put.

Great to see you Will! Congratulations to all.

Beyond excited to see this arrived today!

@catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and my lovely former HoD @egcarr.bsky.social - what a team 🌟

It has arrived! Very excited to dive into this @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social

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! 🔗👇

This is great to see. I look forward to the (possible) blog!

You too Colin! It was lovely to see you.

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!

It was great to meet you too!

Thank you to @edurbin.bsky.social @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @jacobolivey.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social @katiehall.bsky.social Matt Stanford and @jasminhart.bsky.social for the excellent sessions. Great to present with the wonderful @e-nicholson.bsky.social too.

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!

Final proofs are in… it’s going to print! 🎉🎉

This has been a long time coming! Looking forward to seeing this little history teaching handbook in print!

Very excited about this! Such a privilege to write with this amazing group.

This is amazing! Great to see you working your magic!

It was an absolutely brilliant day and such a tonic! Thank you @michaeldoron.bsky.social and @jacobolivey.bsky.social.

I think I did! It is an excellent podcast. Thanks to you both from me too!

Wow! So excited!!

Brilliant!

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.

Experienced Teacher Programme (ETP)

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.

#Soane25 is live!

Come and join us on Saturday 8th
February for a day with a *phenomenal* line up of speakers.

This will be terrific!

“A balance of skills and knowledge” is no more meaningful a statement today than it was a decade ago - let’s avoid falling into the same tired cliches. We have better ways now for talking about curriculum design (although still a long way to go).
