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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I don't read many edu-books these days but this one was worth making an exception for. An excellent primer condensing lots of writing and discourse in the subject community. Strongly recommended, especially to History ITTs, teachers who didn't get much quality subject input in training and new HoDs.
