Looking forward to taking history into KS1 at the @1972shp.bsky.social conference 2025 join me and Wendy to take you through our rich KS1 curriculum materials
This looks to be a great conference as ever. I cannot emphasise how much @1972shp.bsky.social and conference has shaped me as a teacher. History teacher Glastonbury. But with better toilets.
So excited about @1972shp.bsky.social #SHP25. So many brilliant workshops over 3 fantastic days of #historyteacher goodness. Join us for great history and great company PLUS included lunch, coffee and dinner!!

Thanx @danlyndon.bsky.social! It's the @1972shp.bsky.social itself that's truly legendary (truly the Glastonbury of the mind) & it's always a tremendous honour 2 join SHP colleagues in Leeds. Looking 4ward 2 talking with history teachers about constructing & deconstructing stories in class in July!

'In practice, “high standards”currently too often means “high standards for some”.’
Cogent arguments from @beckyfrancis.bsky.social exploring ‘standards’ in discussions of curriculum
Everyone agrees about their importance -but what exactly are we all agreed on?

We want high standards for all young people, not some
Delivering that vision will mean having a shared understanding of what we mean when we talk about standards

It feels as though the current Ofsted leadership have just discovered a Bloom's taxonomy pyramid and got over excited at the new world of possibilities.
Already amusing myself with the "guess which of the descriptors is meant to be better" game for the new Ofsted toolkits.

Definitely one to read and think about I totally get the points being made
Compelling article by @lucyfoulkes.bsky.social on why we should ‘Stop Panicking Over Teens and Social Media’ and how bans are probably not the answer:

Essay | Stop Panicking Over Teens and Social Media
Modern life is digital. Adults need to help young people navigate the costs and benefits, not launch bans and hope for the best.
