Hi all, If anyone has the time to complete a survey about teaching the American West over this summer, it would be hugely appreciated. It’s not a super quick survey but should only take about 15-17 minutes. Thanks in advance for any help. #historyteacher

Hi #historyteacher people. I am still looking for volunteers for my survey on teaching (and learning about) the American West at GCSE. 15 mins but vital to PhD research (see 🧵 Also looking for pupils for another online survey. Do DM if able to help. york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Fabulous weekend at #SHP26. Felt so supported speaking for the first time and had some brilliantly geeky conversations!!

Six weeks into senior leadership and one thing is clear: the role is less about having answers and more about holding complexity. I’ve written about the challenges, the learning curve, and what I’m discovering along the way. #education #leadership #alwayslearning

ep1008.wordpress.comLessons in Senior LeadershipI will freely admit that senior leadership was not in my plan. My ideal role was a Teaching & Learning lead — without the wider responsibilities of SLT. Having three young children has meant I have often shied away from that bigger step. But in September, circumstances shifted, and for the first time I felt ready to apply. The opportunity to continue working with Teaching & Learning while leading it across the whole school was too good to pass up.

ResearchED = full brain workout. Brilliant sessions on curriculum, why subjects differ, belonging, implementation and AI in education. Inspired, challenged and ready to bring it back to school. #teaching #cpd #edutwitter

ep1008.wordpress.comReflections on ResearchEDToday I had what a friend called a ‘holiday for the mind’. It can feel like a busman’s holiday going to a Teaching and Learning (T&L) conference after a busy week of leading T&L, but it’s also something that makes my heart sing and lets me feel cognitively challenged in an area of school leadership that I love. Having stepped up to Assistant Head (AH), much of the week is taken up with the day-to-day responsibilities of being part of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).

I didn’t fully recognise this until partway through university. That was when it dawned on me that what excited me wasn’t just the subject itself, but the process — the challenge of grappling with something new, of digging deeper, of connecting ideas I hadn’t seen before.

Summer is always a balance between children, house and a bit of work. Today is all about downtime and family as we experience the medieval joust at Lincoln Castle. Always a highlight of the year for our family and it hasn’t disappointed! #historyteacher #summerholidays #castle #medieval

Looks like a great event here - and it’s free!

E Pringle@ehp14.bsky.social

I love CPD and learning but cost is often a factor! What I love about @ttrhistory.bsky.social is that it is completely accessible in terms of cost - FREE. The people involved give their time freely to share good practice & ideas. Teaching community at it’s best ♥️ www.eventbrite.com/e/teachers-t...

Revisited our ‘Curriculum in Objects’ initiative. Initial idea of student led inferences remains in place but we’ve switched to connected closed questions to build confidence and frame the concepts and understanding we want to take forward into the topic. #historyteacher

Really like these 'tweaks' that @jacquiramsden.bsky.social has made to our Define, Connect, Use, Recall sheets in connecting the often abstract key word to concrete examples. This, combined with our review quizzes, will really help improve our work on literacy. Great collaboration! #historyteacher

So Oak's new AI lesson planner has really got me thinking. Who exactly is it aimed at? My guess is that the most likely people to use it are new teachers and those with limited subject knowledge on a topic. So how well does it do the job if that's you? I thought I'd try it out...

I’m also contributing to We Are In Beta’s Curriculum Thinking Week, delivering a session on effective feedback in history. A great opportunity to reflect on how feedback drives progress—and how it connects curriculum, pedagogy, and long-term learning.

Ahead of my We Are in Beta curriculum thinking week talk, I have been reviewing my work on feedback from last year. What I found was that having more frequent low stakes feedback made much more of an impact than onerous written marking 1/4 #feedbacknotmarking #teacher

And finally, by using live marking, I picked up so many more misconceptions and could intervene in the moment - giving feedback so they knew where they were on the journey. 4/4

One thing I love about teaching history is the opportunity to continue learning all the time. And yes, I do know that that makes me a huge geek, but it also means I am super excited to head to @uonhumanities.bsky.social for their ‘teaching mediaeval women’ day today. #historyteacher #cpd
