I have had another go at the diagram! It tries to capture connections betwen teacher decisions at different scales (first featured in a recent @histassoc webinar with @richkbristol on pedagogy). We need to be thinking in a more connected way about curriculum and pedagogy IMO.
Re listening to this - makes me want to go back and retrain as a history teacher. The focus is history in action .. but so much to think about for any teacher. 🔥🔥
Loved filming this with @teacherhead, Emma Turner and @HughJRichards
We discussed our book Secondary History in Action, co-authored with the fabulous @EG_Carr and David Hibbert. Check it out 👇

I am beyond excited that @EG_Carr, @DavidJHibbert, @HughJRichards & I have submitted the first draft of Secondary History in Action 🥳
It's been such a pleasure to work with amazing colleagues & friends on this over the past couple of years. We can't wait to see it in the flesh.
If you are a SL and you want to be exposed to new ideas and practical guidance this is the course for you! I was the least experienced of the team when we created the course and just watching the videos of the others has made a huge difference to my work life!

Had a brilliant time yesterday at the Oxford History Teachers Network meeting. A fascinating session from @MsKerryApps in the morning which joined up brilliantly with Ben Taberer's presentation in the afternoon. Thanks to @JJtodd1966 and @TrinityOxford for hosting.
Random question...does anyone have a good efficient method for cleaning mini-whiteboards at scale? We love them but they are so dirty by this time of year!
