Don’t miss out on the fantastic SHP Summer Conference! So many amazing workshops. A great way to get ready for the curriculum change that’s coming down the road … but even more so, just to get re-inspired about history teaching.

Tiny thing from my classroom in the last fortnight: ‘the rubbish version’… Writing is hard. It’s the most cognitively demanding thing we ask our students to do. When we teach creative writing, it’s difficult to get some students to start, or to write in a way that is relaxed and free. 1/ 👇

Another little call for help from me. I am looking to get hold of old pupil exercise books where people have studied the SHP American West units. I currently have 2, mine and my brother’s. Hoping to gather examples from 1970s to 2020s. If anyone has old books in the attic, I’d love to chat.
