History head of department, who having seen too many films secretly wants to be an inspirational sports coach.

Thinking about sending this to all our authors to highlight the importance of proofreading. On the other hand, horses, water etc

@abimillswhite Thanks, which company did you use?

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

Anyone got tips & advice for planning a school trip to Berlin? I want to take 6th form in October. Did you use a company or do it yourself? What issues should I be aware of? I know Berlin well enough, what to see etc. #historyteacher #schooltrip #historians

If the Retained EU Law Bill passes, on Jan 1st, 2024 we could lose:

🔹Holiday pay
🔹Agency worker rights
🔹Rights to maternity and parental leave
🔹Protection of part-time and fixed-term workers
🔹Protection from discrimination

and many more.

If a job was well paid, easy to do, had lots of holidays and meant you could finish work each day at 3.30pm, wouldn't it be oversubscribed?

🤔

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

@MsJasmineMN Was a big problem in my last school, some students would spend most of the day wandering around. They would often roam corridors and interrupt lessons to talk to friends in other classes. Seemingly SLT were unable or unwilling to do anything about it.

Brexit isn’t working, and the Brexiters know it

Dear @SteveBarclay I'm planning to visit all 40 new hospitals in one week on a unicycle to raise money for charity. Can you let me know where they all are please?

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

@Mr_RKeogh 3 x 50 mins a week, 5 hours a fortnight. Really do need more to fit it all in.

If someone writes a book about this summer, they should call it Four Chancellors and a Funeral.

@MrsMcBHistory It's an amazing place to ride round, so much to see and all really accessible by bike.

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

A level history teachers, what books (either textbooks or history books) would you recommend for year 13s doing the Edexcel Tudor Rebellions module? #historyteacher #edexcel #alevelhistory #history #Tudors

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

love this Hilary Mantel explanation of what history actually is

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

The modules (for those who don't have the spec to hand 😄) are Germany/FRG 1918-1989, Rise and Fall of Fascist Italy 1911-1946, and Rebellion and Disorder under the Tudors 1495-1603.

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

Ok #historyteacher's of #edutwitter I need your help. SLT asked me to find an expert speaker to get in for CPD, focused on improving our A Level teaching & learning. Who would you recommend as the cream of the crop in this area? We do Edexcel routes 1G, 2G & 31. #historycpd

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

@HistoryRichK @Justice2History @whitburn_robin @GumleyHouse Haha, no way, Robin is the nicest guy in the world. I'd never have made it through my PGCE without him. Total legend, apart from his choice of football team of course.

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

When you open an envelope at work and see your PGCE tutor from 5 years ago staring back at you. Nice to see you are doing well @Justice2History @whitburn_robin if you're in the Isleworth area pop in to @GumleyHouse for a cup of tea. #historyteacher #HistoryisCool

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

@JJo_History I'm working on a 'Who tall are you?' for open evening too. Done it before and it's always very popular with kids and parents.

[Colin Rance @MrRanceHistory]

@RiceBenrice1992 Exactly the same for me today. So much new information to take in. A little overwhelming, but exciting.
