It was such a privilege to help edit this book- I learnt something from each chapter about what it means to teach history and do it well.

It will be really good. @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social are brilliant at explaining how to integrate rich extended story with critical disciplinary thinking. They explain the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series really well, giving great practical tips.

The use of a puzzling, intriguing, scholarship-driven enquiry question is so central to my teaching. This masterclass will be brilliant!

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 have a new blog, building on the work of @michaeldoron.bsky.social . If you love Star Wars, Andor, Grogu and the Mandalorian, then don't read it. The blog is not about any of that: lobworth.com/2025/06/27/s...

Space and size: students as relational cartographers in my new frontier of history teaching
I’ve been thinking a lot about space. Not in a Star Wars way (although I do know my Aldhani from my Alderaan). I’ve been thinking about space and distance. Inspired by Mike Hill’s seminal article o…

And here it is. Finally. Surrounded by some of the scholarship that shaped it. It’s beautiful and such fun to teach - it has given my Year 8 class stories to live inside. A parent messaged me to say history has ‘never been so fun!’ - all I did was tell the class stories from this book.

So happy that the scholarship of Ruby Lal, Emma Griffin, James Boyce, Vincent Brown and others will shine in this textbook - it was such a pleasure and privilege to work with historians, & the integration of images and text is spellbinding. Bravo @counsellc.bsky.social @willgoodfellow82.bsky.social

The even better news is the book is ready to fly off the shelves, and here is an offer to save 20% from Routledge. We hope it is a useful guide for teachers who are new to the profession, as well as more experienced colleagues. www.routledge.com/A-Practical-...

Thank you to everyone who came to our second Ark Soane History conference yesterday. It was such a joy to see so many history teacher colleagues together. As always, I’m proudest of our pupils who were so keen to help and talk about history. What a lovely day. #Soane25

This story of mahogany is one of the most thought-provoking and illuminating approaches to teaching the transatlantic slave trade I've ever come across. @hannahcusworth.bsky.social has blended her original research into a mesmerising story for Y8, evoking contrasting but connected worlds #Soane25
