Lovely spending time this weekend with @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @jacobolivey.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @kerrylouisehistory.bsky.social and so many other Hachette Learning authors and friends at the @histassoc.bsky.social conference. A wonderful event with truly wonderful people.

Calling teachers of the American West GCSE Unit! I am doing some research into the metanarratvies pupils develop abouut Indignous peoples and C19th US expansion. If you can help out by filling in this survey I'd be hugely grateful. It should take about 15 mins. york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Lots of chat about the *last* English royal to be arrested, but who was the first? The Anglo-Saxons typically bumped off their rivals, so I'll start the bidding with Odo, bishop of Bayeux, arrested and imprisoned by his half-brother, William the Conqueror, in 1082.

Fantastic programme here run by @andrewshtbc.bsky.social and @scillyteacher.bsky.social - both amazing history teachers! Get yourself signed up. Will be fab. #historyteacher

Some of my favourite books on education. A couple that are old, but there’s been a huge amount of super sharp thinking in the last decade or so.

@1972shp.bsky.social's new webinar in our UNEARTHED series is a must for all teachers of the History of Medicine. Bring your students along to hear @teachmedwomen.bsky.social's Dr Natasha Hodgson discussing Medieval women, medicine & gardening ...

The Governors’ Gateway has launched! We’re delight to share a new learning platform built for the realities of school governance. It’s the brainchild of @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and we know it will be so helpful for governors. /1

It was a pleasure to host @catherinepriggs.bsky.social at Avanti Grange and a great opportunity to showcase our curriculum, drawing so much on the brilliant #ChangingHistoriesKS3

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/

As I said in my lecture on Weds eve, receiving the Medlicott medal for services to history has been deeply special for me, not least because it allows me to celebrate and promote the importance of subject communities. We would be nowhere without @histassoc.bsky.social. Thank you HA. You're the best.

71. I was delighted to get my hands on this! A book I really wish I'd had access to as a young history teacher. Extremely thorough and in-depth but I also loved the scenarios and practical lesson/scheme exemplars. Excellent read.

This short thread by Cat Priggs made me think: History planning is about tying things together into a shape, a flow – usually a story & often a parallel flow of the analytic direction created by the EQ. It isn't about breaking things up into propositions and it's rarely about teaching a procedure.

Catherine Priggs @catherinepriggs.bsky.social · last yr.

The chapter ties everything together into one rich and accessible narrative. In just one lesson, we: - Unpicked the chaos after William I’s death - Learnt how Henry I restored stability in England and Normandy…

Had such a great time teaching Year 7 today! We explored England from 1087 to 1154 - a whirlwind of power struggles, a fractured empire, and civil war - using @counsellc.bsky.social’s chapter ‘Meanwhile, back in Norman England: Struggling for control after 1087’ from #ChangingHistoriesKS3

There's just one more day to sign up to our free Changing Histories webinar. Join @catherinepriggs.bsky.social & @egcarr.bsky.social on planning and teaching lesson sequences. Register here: bit.ly/4nrA8Mv

It will be really good. @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social are brilliant at explaining how to integrate rich extended story with critical disciplinary thinking. They explain the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series really well, giving great practical tips.

Still time to sign up for this - free history teaching inspiration (we hope) to set you up before the summer break!

Really excited to deliver this FREE session with @egcarr.bsky.social We’ll discuss the power of enquiry questions, including how they shape the analytic direction and purpose of a sequence of lessons, create a sense of intrigue & infuse lessons with energy! @counsellc.bsky.social

Deeper background for anyone teaching about Henry V at KS3 or A level - how one family was involved in parliamentary discussions, recruitment, mustering, preparations for departure: How did the Redmayns experience the preparations for war 1414-1415? thinkinghistory.co.uk/MedievalFami...

My team and I have signed up for this, looks terrific.

Our new blogpost at www.clementshallhistorygroup.org.uk/blog/helen-s... pays tribute to Helen Snelson, a wonderful champion of #HistoryEducation. In her memory we're contributing to the @histassoc.bsky.social Teaching Fellowship Programme to support teaching of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller histories.

We got a ton of exhibitors joining us with fantastic bargains and offers for primary and secondary teachers of history

Last night I was honoured to receive an Honorary Fellowship from the @histassoc.bsky.social It’s hard to put into words what this means. It is more than an association to me; it’s a community that has supported, sustained and nurtured me at so many points in my career.

Brilliant to see Hachette Learning authors @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social and @lambhearttea.bsky.social receive their HA honorary fellowships. Huge congrats to #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series ed @counsellc.bsky.social on her Medlicott Medal too!

The use of a puzzling, intriguing, scholarship-driven enquiry question is so central to my teaching. This masterclass will be brilliant!

How does an enquiry question sustain interest, build momentum and give all pupils access to disciplinary thinking across a lesson sequence? How does the EQ help you to integrate compelling stories and rich, extended text? Register bit.ly/4nrA8Mv for Cat and Elizabeth's webinar on Tues 8 July 3.30pm
