Settling down to read the new @histassoc.bsky.social mag. My 3 year old is very confused "why are you reading about history teaching. You already know how to do that." Attempted to explain CPD theories but he wandered off to play cars. #historyteacher

Really enjoyed @beetroot.bsky.social's talk on how conspiracy theories have shaped American society. A great part of @histassoc.bsky.social 's course on American Culture. Put me in mind of @jonnelledge.bsky.social's great book on the subject (which you should all read!)

Thrilled to have been awarded Charted History Teacher by @histassoc.bsky.social fantastic end to the term #historyteacher

Really enjoyed @jmcoghlan.bsky.social's talk on American literature spreading abroad and how it became popular in the UK, as part of @histassoc.bsky.social's short course on American Culture. Fascinating to learn that Washington Irving had a Birmingham period and Walt Whitman had fans in Bolton!
