Just finished this survey for the wonderful man that is @JJtodd1966. If you're a history teacher and can spare some time over half-term, they would really appreciate it..

[Jason Todd @JJtodd1966]

I've helped educate over 250 teachers met dozens of others via workshops etc. If each of you completed our survey and recruited two colleagues to do the same (as in some dodgy pyramid selling) we would get serious numbers for this important survey. https://t.co/qwz9Rmn9YN

@joshuaharris34 Such a brilliant film

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

@sixteenthCgirl Outcome: They agree the phrases were based on outdated historiography. All will be taken out of the next edition of the textbook. And Ava and Kathi’s work will be acknowledged.
Thanks to the publishers for listening & responding.

Ava and Kathi just changed the textbook! (4/4)

We also sent their letter to @sixteenthCgirl. She said she ‘couldn’t agree more’ and posted a wonderful post on Instagram to show her support.
The publishers replied to Ava and Kathi’s letter. They had checked those phrases with an early modern historian... (3/4)

@gsoh31 Enjoyed that, thanks Glen

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

@sixteenthCgirl Hi Suzannah, on that topic, two of my Year 11 students have just written a letter about the sexism in their GCSE history Elizabethan England textbook. Would you be interested in reading it?

@robbarker1982 @shornKOOMINS They're excellent support
(Sorry)

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

@thenickbowling @sallynyc @PutnamBooks @lalahinch @PenguinCanada Great to hear your news, Nick. I just mentioned this to my eldest who said -unprompted!- I really loved 'Song of the far isles', it's one of my favourite books, and there's a LOT of competition

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

@HughJRichards this can be a nightmare! had a similar problem a few weeks back and ended up having to go back for a nicer tasting one. (There are some that aren't rancid!)

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

@HughJRichards I love the Where in the World activity, Hugh. Very good of you to share.

@phil_tinline thank*you*, Phil!.. A great listen for A level historians studying Britain 1951-2007. Post-war consensus, In Place of Strife, Saltley Gate, Winter of Discontent, 'Labour isn't working' - for those that have done half the course, it's a great review/recap/big picture analysis..

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

Excellent, as ever, from Phil Tinline, and a very useful podcast for our A level historians #makingofmodernbritain

[Phil Tinline @phil_tinline]

Very pleased to talk to @thehistoryguy about my book #TheDeathofConsensus - 100 Years of British Political Nightmares. Have a listen:

[dOverbroecksHistory @dOverbHistory]

An excellent programme as ever, and the section on the miners' strike is very useful for our A Level historians who will be studying it next term.. #makingofmodernbritain

Putting ⁦@Keir_Starmer⁩’s present dilemma into historical perspective. ⁦@UKLabour⁩ has to be a sectional & a national party if it is to survive & win power. https://t.co/kLzqnAgyuq

David Trimble has died aged 77. In 1998 he won the Nobel Peace Prize, with the late John Hume, for helping secure the Good Friday Agreement. To understand his role and impact, have a look at this news archive on the Northern Ireland peace process.
