This is the perfect resource for #historyteacher s who are keen to maintain disciplinary authenticity when asked to implement whole school policy and approaches. I hope it leads many #historyteachers to understand the importance of engaging with the wider community! 3/3

@catherinepriggs.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social @egcarr.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social have done a super job of exploring history-specific practice and integrating this with the more generalised instructional coaching toolkit/ teaching techniques approach of the walk thrus series. 2/

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/

Reflecting on an excellent #HAConf25 as I return to school! I always struggle to look to the future at this time of year and feel I have run out of ideas. I left the conference energised and excited again. A brilliant location too!

This is going to be so exciting. If you like the idea that the pastis an imagined world to your students, come and think/discuss to how other people do it! Last year was bloody brilliant, absolute source of joy.

“A balance of skills and knowledge” is no more meaningful a statement today than it was a decade ago - let’s avoid falling into the same tired cliches. We have better ways now for talking about curriculum design (although still a long way to go).
