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.

By the end of the lesson, pupils were making thoughtful contributions about the rulers of this period and their struggles. Every pupil in a mixed-ability comprehensive class was engaged. One girl even whispered to her partner three times, “I LOVE stories!”

- Reflected on the White Ship disaster and the consequences of the loss of Henry’s heir, William Atheling - Explored ‘the Anarchy’ or “nineteen long winters” - a civil war between Stephen and Matilda - and how it affected ordinary people

Catherine Priggs @catherinepriggs.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

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
