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

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

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.

Some analysis of the latest GCSE History exams and what lessons we can take. Now with some tentative unit level analysis. Strap in for some data fun!

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.

TLDR: if you put in bulk review requests, consider spending the money on interventions instead.
