Thanks Sam, glad you're enjoying it!

Thank you Arthur

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-...

Who else but Norfolk's own @mrmayhew.bsky.social to show us all how to teach local history through distinct enquiries or sprinkling those links through our existing curricula.

Another area that would not have featured as prominently in the original edition of the book is historical scholarship. @victoriacrooks.bsky.social outlines a variety of powerful ways in which the works of historians can be brought to life in the classroom.

@jcarrollhistory.bsky.social says "historical writing is hard!" Well he makes it look easy as he draws on his years of experience in this area of history teaching to provide a tour-de-force of how to teach extended writing in history.

@victoriabarnett.bsky.social really gets to grips with what progress and assessment look like in history. Influenced by the work of @daisychristo.bsky.social she shows how we can bring that understanding into the history classroom.

The best people to write about decolonising the curriculum were @danlyndon.bsky.social and @joshpreyegarry.bsky.social Their chapter is part practical guide, and part call to arms, in a curricular landscape that is constantly demanding we renew the struggle to include all voices.

The masterful @apf102.bsky.social summarises the best thinking, and provides essential insights, into how sources and evidence can be used in rigorous new ways. He asserts that it is these "historical tracks" which can help young people to understand that all knowledge in history is provisional.

Helen Snelson was one of the first authors to be on board to write a chapter, and was always available to offer advice as the project progressed. Here she shows how that most misunderstood concepts of historical significance can be brought to life for children. She will be missed.

@jacobolivey.bsky.social lays out how similarity and difference can be understood and used in conjunction with historical perspective. Understanding how, what has been called cultural history, can be used as part of history teacher planning. A fantastic chapter.

In Chapter 6 the brilliant @lauralondo1017.bsky.social of @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social shows us how the historical concept of causation can be applied in our classrooms in new and relevant ways.

Obviously the great @michaelfordham.bsky.social is then giving us a masterclass in substantive and disciplinary knowledge. Not a chapter that would have been considered crucial in the original edition of 2006!

Who better than @paulalobo.bsky.social to write about historical enquiries in history teaching? A process she describes as "intellectually stimulating and rewarding." Just like reading this chapter!

One of the best to write about curriculum design @willbaileywatson.bsky.social talks about the gardener, the wrestler, the architect and the explorer. An informative romp through the last 25 years of curricular thinking in history teaching.

Matt Stanford and Corinne Goullée joined to bring some much-needed expertise and we assembled a stellar group of authors to write the chapters. All experts in their fields, providing an overview of the thinking and debate in each area. and showing history teachers how to put theory into practice.

Today is publication day for a Practical Guide to Teaching History in the Secondary School. 19 years after the first edition, this is a complete re-write by so many wonderful experts in the history teaching community. Thanks to @terryhaydn.bsky.social for offering the opportunity 5 years ago!

Thrilled to be receivin first copies a real team effort by so many great history teachers and educators @victoriacrooks.bsky.social @lauralondo1017.bsky.social @paulalobo.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @mrmayhew.bsky.social @michaelfordham.bsky.social Dedicated to the great Helen Snelson
