Long shot, but I’m going to ask anyway: has anyone got a book of sources concerning the correspondence around MQS’s execution? There’s a photo of a draft letter to Parliament in John Guy’s Elizabeth: the Forgotten Years and it’s distracting me that I can’t fully contextualise it! #HistoryTeacher

@sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social Have you ever done a Not Just the Tudors about the ‘Rough Wooing?’ Amy Blakeway has curated a new exhibition at St Andrews about MQS’s early reign and has also worked on the effect of the RW on Scottish women, and that it’s the wrong thing to call it (more below…)

Just did thr scariest thing ever, but so happy I did it. First time I had done something like this and can't wait to keep it going and to improve 🙌🏿

Trialled this last week and I think there will be a lot of ‘visual mapping’ in the crawl to the finish line. Applicable to all Key Stages, initial connection of knowledge to the icons, push to discuss how they link and then explanation questions to finish. #historyteacher

✨ History isn’t complete if half the population is missing @sashasmith.bsky.social & @katemossewriter.bsky.social join the Reteach #Podcast to reveal: ❗59% of KS3 lessons feature no women ❗Only 5% of schools teach a named woman in every period 🎧 Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/3YtK...

Finally making a lesson on the remarkable Adelard of Bath! #historyteacher

Missed this. Definitely going to book again!

First two lessons made! 3 more to go

Okay.. its done. My first proper attempt at writing a historical story to encourage world building and providing a sense of period. Please let me know what you think? What to tweak? Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall? #historyeducation #historyteacher

#historyteacher does anybody have a story on the Vikings I can use or point me in the direction of information I can use to create one. This is aimed at year 7. Want a story to open up my new EQ 'Were the Anglo-Saxons doomed to fall'? @simonbeale.bsky.social @michaeldoron.bsky.social

Margaret Beaufort was brilliant, wasn’t she? Just a powerhouse. I have been catching up on @nathenamin.bsky.social and @nicolatallis.bsky.social’s course today. I’m teaching Y12 all about her next week! #historyteacher I hope their reaction is better than Y7’s horrified howls (A baby at 13!)

History gets confusing fast. Characters cut through the noise. 🔥 Ben Bassett, Deputy Head of History in West London, on why stories make history unforgettable. 🎧Listen now open.spotify.com/episode/2cYo... 🎙️Host: @carmelbones.bsky.social

Something that has always concerned me though is that the lower grades of a level 2 qualification does not usually allow students entrance to level 3 A levels (usually STEM and generally for good reason). This has always felt wrong in terms of progression pathways. 2/2

First lesson with Y12, anyone? #historyteacher (got to bring the drama!)

⚔️ The 21st August. The tense, anxiety-ridden night before battle, when two men enter the arena but only one can leave the king. I've written about this in today's newsletter, which should be nestled in your mailboxes waiting to be read 📬 nathenamin.substack.com/p/bosworth-t...

Wrapped another results day as HOD. Very proud of all my students. They did themselves proud. I am already thinking of tweaks and improvement for next year, but that is the nature of the job and for now (today) will just live in the present. #sleptin #missedmyalarm #notreadyforschool #historyteacher

An amazing history festival that i found out about not too long ago. Really enjoyed revisiting old topics, learning new things, and meeting absolutely legends of the discipline. Also gave me an excuse to visit Southwark Cathedral. #southwarkhistoryfestival #summerhols @nicolatallis.bsky.social

Pleased to share some lesson resources on Billy Waters, accessible via the @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social website! Teaching Billy Waters, an African American sailor come Regency sensation, is a brilliant way to explore themes of agency, race and popular culture. ageofrevolution.org/billy-waters...

Immediately, yes! The first chapter has this question 'What connected Scotland to wider worlds?' #Scotlandthebrave

It's arrived!! #historyteachers

It's arrived!! #historyteachers

Have seen the Policy Exchange "Lessons from the Past" report pop up a bit recently (in rel to Curric review & depts looking at their curriculua). Thought it was time I had a look.. Quick ver: some useful but not novel findings in a problematic package full of contradictions. #historyteacher 🧵 /1

Exam boards better give students the mark for making the claim that the belief of miasma has continued to the modern period for the 2025/26 exam series

NPR@npr.org · last yr.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

Well done to all those amazing history teachers out there! GCSE History 2025 - all done. #historyteacher

It's that time of year when we evaluate our curriculum. I would really appreciate it if anyone could have a look over ours. What are we missing? What needs changing? Does it flow properly? Does it prepare students from KS4 & 5? Any Feedback much appreciated. #historyteacher

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