What’s the worst development in history teaching over the last fifty years?

Here’s what I think it might be, written up as a long-ish thread. It’s half an ‘old man yells at cloud’ rant and half a summary of my workshop at the #Soane24 conference.

A thousand times this. Being “evidence-based” in pedagogy will not move a teacher forward if the thing being taught, the curricular object, the rhythms and status of that subject’s accounts, are not the primary driver of professional learning.

I review books for a living, and I’ve noticed a worrying trend of what I call “instagramming the Holocaust.” (1 / 9)

[Gwen C. Katz @gwenckatz]

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

[Louis Everett @LouisEverett1]

The more I’m in comprehensive schools the more militant I get in my belief that people outside schools don’t understand the challenges and how to overcome them. We need voices from within the sector, now more than ever. Challenges are unique and need domain specific knowledge.

[Louis Everett @LouisEverett1]

If we’re serious about wanting to improve the education of our most disadvantaged, we have to amplify the voices of those who’ve chosen to work in schools serving disadvantaged demographics & then listen to them. Even if this challenges what we think/ an ideology.

Subject-specificity in ITT, every time. ❤️ Starts there, ends there, it's what it's for - the thing being taught. Taking substance & form of knowledge seriously every. single. day. And the ethical responsibility of the trainee to keep renewing it, with others. #ITTMarketReview

This about sums up what’s at stake.

THREAD /1. A diverse history curriculum is possible but there are barriers. Recent debate is an opportunity to remove & debate them but entrenched positions prevent this. 1. Ineffective pedagogies. A focus on high-impact methods means you can cover more content meaningfully.

Hat die Kanzerlin gerade tatsächlich im Fernsehen gesagt, die Schulen bräuchten SystemadministratorInnen? Und dass diese bezahlt würden? #fassungslos

I’m so sorry I have to say it.. I’ve seen about 16 Tweets in a row tonight.

Danish news site reminds people of being skeptical of how news photographers take pictures. Here is the same place, one picture taken with a zoom lense, and the other with a wide-angle lense: https://t.co/lPMJDHXOfD

@rosstmiller Everything.
I'm a historical consultant for movies and tv, it is my job to avoid historical mistakes.
So I can't help seeing them EVERYWHERE.
Especially when it comes to Medieval history...

Aus aktuellem Anlass möchte ich mal mit ein paar falschen Vorstellungen aufräumen, die gerade im Rahmen #digitalerUnterricht rumgeistern #Thread:

1. NEIN! Nicht alle Schüler*innen (SuS) haben einen Internetzugang.

2. NEIN! Die SuS können nicht alle Computer. Das Thema 1/

[Christine Counsell @Counsell_C]

@SamSlater @History__Girls @MrsThorne @_miss_moss_ @MrAllsopHistory I recommend @PaulaLoboWorth's blog for a medieval African enquiry. I'd argue that it's essential regardless of ethnicity of pupils - just good history, cos the past is diverse (tho perhaps even more essential 4 pupils from mostly white communities!) https://t.co/8OF7oMS4bX
