@historysam.bsky.social talking about an embedded approach to revision from KS3-4. streamyard.com/watch/ZC4SsA... This is a great example of the placemats used at KS4 - not overwhelming but also really useful to students in completion and then using to revise #historyteacher

Huge shout out to @missfolorunsho.bsky.social She’s given me some superb coaching in how I can use AI in my teaching. I was a complete novice this morning! Tonight I’m creating revision podcasts for my students! 👏🏻 Looking forward to learning more ☺️ #historyteacher #AI #GCSE

Looking for advice. Has anyone had success teaching #GCSE #History to #EAL students with very little English. I want to support a keen student but not sure how. Advice, reading, resources: all welcome. Thank you 😊

She's managed to keep it pretty quiet on here, but @catpriggs.bsky.social is now working freelance in education. As well as quality advice on middle and whole school leadership, Cat would be a GENIUS person to talk to about History curriculum and assessment. 1/2

📖 One thing I love about the summer holidays is the amount of time I have to enjoy reading. This summer has been a good one. I’ve chosen well. Just one that I found disappointing 📖 # historyteacher #summer #reading #readinglist 📚

Happy publication day to @historysam.bsky.social for her new Pearson Edexcel Medicine in Britain book. I couldn't ask for a better author. Based around cognitive science principles this is the only textbook on the market that accounts for the new content and assessment changes introduced this year.

I wrote something about mark reviews (you may know these as re-marks) which summarises what I think every year when I read social media, but never say. sallythorne.com/2024/08/25/m... TLDR: if you put in bulk review requests, consider spending the money on interventions instead. #edusky

Mark Reviews
As part of my exam role, at this time of year, I undertake reviews of marking. These are more commonly referred to as re-marks, which is a misnomer. Papers are not re-marked from scratch. Instead, the...

Let’s start with my book of the summer (so far 😉). Wow, just wow. Loved this. Yes, I know there’s a film! So pleased that I read first. Superb writing - the way I feel about these characters by the end 🥰 Powerful. #reading #readingforpleasure #books
