A History teacher always trying to make memes relevant in lessons. Love a bit of CPD.

Stretch and Challenge was something I struggled on and off with during my ITT. I recently read Mike Gershon's '50 Quick Ways to Stretch and Challenge More-Able Students' and found it a great help for ideas applicable to history lessons. Drop me a reply if you would like a copy!

Should be compulsory on the curriculum.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Stumbled across Waterloo Road tonight, have never watched it before but tonight I am glued!! Can’t help but think the writers had current events in mind with the constant references to the pressures of Ofsted. Really well put together 👏🏻👏🏻

On the cool down after exams but not still wanting to learn and foster curiosity. Trialing this with my year 10s (NI) completing a research task on Holocaust memorials in pairs and have them create they’re own after. I imagine there will be plenty of variety in the room.

Severe lack of proof reading in this 😂

Retrieval task for tomorrow with the year 8's (NI) to see us off for the weekend. New unit can wait to Monday. Thanks to @Hist_Matters for the inspo!

Teach meet session on supporting SEND students in history was brilliant. Those in the profession that go the extra mile to include all really don’t know how far reaching their impact can be. #Historyinspiringteachers

Teaching this for the first time in ages, simply couldn’t resist.

@worcesterjonny Jonny, this is very refreshing to see. Famine nowhere near covered enough in empire units.

This is a picture of my best friend Nick. It was taken when he was 17.

Within a few months of this photo being taken Nick had died.

That was 20 years ago today and I wanted to share some thoughts with you about the enduring power of friendship.

Proper disheartening when you give your students all the revision tools they’ll need and they still perform poorly 👎🏻

[Shane McK @Kld8S]

Won’t see my Year 8s due to parents evening so extended poetry task it is! Creating their own rhymes can give them an opportunity to retain previously learnt information successfully. No emphasis on using all lines but doing what you can. #BlackDeath #History

[Shane McK @Kld8S]

First time trialing a commemoration of the Irish Famine with Year 9 and absolutely blown away with the results. Will definitely be a feature in the scheme going forward 🤩

[Shane McK @Kld8S]

Anyone else absolutely dying to tell students who come in wearing platform converse that they look absolutely wick?

[Shane McK @Kld8S]

Is this claim from Nadhim Zahawi not the very antithesis of teaching? Do we not want our students to be free, independent thinkers?

Pupils shouldn’t be criticising Boris Johnson in class, says British education secretary https://t.co/TT8Ol1KIRs

Teaching a bit of English now and struggling to find much suitable non-fiction texts for KS3. Could anyone point me in the right direction for any? #edutwitter

@BMHistoryLincs Looks well mate 👍
