When the quality of commissioned artworks matches the quality of the writing- Check out some of the paintings that accompany @michaeldoron.bsky.social and Jonnie Grande's chapters in #changinghistoriesKS3 Fragile Worlds. Wow!😍 There's plenty more to enjoy so do grab a copy (or more) once it's out!

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.

We’re nearly there with #changinghistoriesks3 Fragile Worlds and I couldn’t be prouder of how this project is coming together. Here are a few stunning spreads. You can see more at the @histassoc conference this week! Massive thanks to the author team led by @counsellc.bsky.social #HAConf26

Hachette talk about the textbook series. Will Goodfellow argues stories are accessible, and motivating; at @ttradioofficial.bsky.social

I just so happen to be teaching two different lessons about India tomorrow: Elizabethan exploration there with Y11 and East India Company rule with Y8. Looking forward to getting stuck into this:

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

Amazing news. Thank you Mike for giving me something to look forward to at the start of 2026. Can't wait!

🚨 History teachers, we’re back! 🚨 Join us on 7 Feb 2026 for a day of workshops and a nice curry – all for £25. Ten years after the ‘knowledge turn’, we’re exploring what knowledge-rich history teaching looks like today. Presenters & link below 👇

Love it!!

Lovely feedback from parents at our Open Evening tonight. Those new to the school blown away by our curriculum content. Existing parents telling me their children love History for the stories. It's #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Thanks to @counsellc.bsky.social @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social and authors!

I'm curious to know if you or your students have used AI marking platforms for GCSE or A level history (eg Classroom 42's 'Examinator'). What are your/your students experiences? Any insights would be really appreciated. Thanks!

A 4hr 26 min train journey to get to #SHP25 . What better way to pass the time than to lose myself in some incredible #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Book 3:Fragile Worlds chapters. The author team and @counsellc.bsky.social have worked their magic yet again.

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.

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

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…

Does anyone know of a university academic/historian who could review a textbook chapter on Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge? Struggling to find someone. Thanks!

It's the final countdown, the last chance saloon, the end of the line! Tomorrow night we close the #SHP25 box office so don't miss out on our magnificent conference on July 11-13 @leedstrinity.bsky.social: 40 wonderful workshops, 3 kicking Keynotes, fab fringe sessions & enthusiastic exhibitors ...

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!

And excited to unbox this new textbook for the Cambridge 9489/9981 syllabus! With grateful thanks to @davidandress.bsky.social Colin Storer and Christopher Read for their help, and to Will for making it happen @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social @hachetteuk.bsky.social

First @counsellc.bsky.social, then @paulalobo.bsky.social followed by @hughrichards.bsky.social and now Cat and Elizabeth 🌡️ ☀️

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

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

Genuinely been looking forward to this arriving - and just in time for planning next year. It looks just as fabulous as book 1! @counsellc.bsky.social #HomeEd #History

Listen to @oblaize.bsky.social he knows what he's talking about! Come and join Otis and Justice2History for their workshop on Decolonisation and the British Empire. Tickets available here SHP Summer Conference 2025 | Leeds Trinity University Online Store share.google/6BoMprddy3g1...

Otis Blaize@oblaize.bsky.social · last yr.

Really looking forward to #SHP25 this year. The line up looks great!

Paula is a genius. Her chapters in #ChangingHistoriesKS3 sing. And thanks to her, my 4 year old son, Roo, wants to know more about 'the queen type lady' (Nur Jahan) and how she liked to ride elephants and hunt tigers. Thank you Paula for your amazing dedication to this project.

And here it is. Finally. Surrounded by some of the scholarship that shaped it. It’s beautiful and such fun to teach - it has given my Year 8 class stories to live inside. A parent messaged me to say history has ‘never been so fun!’ - all I did was tell the class stories from this book.

Mmm...I wonder which story book I'll read to my 4 year old at bedtime??! Have you got your copies of #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Expanding Worlds yet? If so please share on BlueSky. I love seeing copies out in their natural habitat!

Starting my Ireland unit with a Year 8 this week. Very much looking forward to getting stuck into it with the help of A New Focus on The British Empire #historyteacher
