So important 2 ensure that curricula are co-constructed in & by communities of expert educators. Great to see the @1972shp.bsky.social continuing its 50+ year project of promoting collaborative teacher-driven curriculum research and development.
Curriculum PATHS is committed to delivering empowering history for young people in their unique contexts. We trust in the expertise and professionalism of history teachers to enable this. We depend on teachers like you to collaborate and share units which speak to the PATHS Principles.
NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam
Oh boy! What a headline...
Ask yourself:
"What am I being asked to believe?"
"Who am I being told to blame?"
Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.
Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

This evening we were thrilled to host @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social @uclgrantmuseum.bsky.social and hear her insights about extinction and how it is presented in natural history museums in her new book Ghosts Behind Glass. A must-read for all nature and museum lovers!

Absolutely. Have a bundle of stuff I researched back then and a whole bunch of locations.
Will DM you a number if you want to arrange a chat
This sounds absolutely fab and one of the many reasons I love the SHP conference
Excited to host a workshop at SHP again this year... this time, ditching the seminar room setting for a walking tour of LTU and into Horsforth, to show that colonial links truly are everywhere! Inspired by the wonderful @corinnefowler.bsky.social 's Our Island Stories' walking tours 🚶♀️🌍
Oh amazing!! Would love to compare notes. Put together a colonial hidden history of Horsforth a few years back and there’s tonnes!!
Just a few places left for our in-person workshop with Marnie Hughes-Warrington (but unlimited space on the livestream!) on Monday March 30th. It's a superb opportunity to explore how History teachers can use their disciplinary expertise 2 train AI models and make them work better for our students.
Really helpful set of resources here from @antontreuer.bsky.social for anyone teaching GCSE American West courses. Also includes a link to the Minnesota Essential Understandings documents, which are really helpful too I think

I suspect a bit of both… it’s genuinely terrifying
THE SECRET OF KELLS STUDIO IS DOING A MOVIE ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AN IRISH FAMINE REFUGEE AND A CHOCTAW BOY???
Today: US-Israeli strike on a girls’ elem. school in Minab, Iran. Death toll 80+ 💔
1953: US & Britain orchestrated a coup d’etat that toppled the democratically elected gov't. of Iran. Shah took power & signed over 40% of Iran’s oil fields to U.S. companies.

Jesus Christ! This is not a "targeted operation". This is following the same playbook as Gaza. It is the innocents who suffer.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "Once again Reform are spreading misinformation & smears, and the press & the media seem to repeat them.. its really important that the media.. take responsibility so when Reform or Farage says something they don't just keep repeating it"👏👏👏

Yet another brilliant blog from @victoriacrooks.bsky.social. This time exploring why Trainees can struggle to focus on pupil learning and what we can do to help them become more reflective practitioners

Today we are launching the 2026 SHP Summer Conference, which will be taking place July 10-12 at Leeds Trinity. This year, due to the huge increase in proposals for workshops, we have extended our offer to 46 wonderful workshops for primary and secondary teachers of history (see below for a taster!
I mean the guy is hideous, but I am actually super supportive of the idea of solving international conflicts by sending certain world leaders to sit in a lion’s den overnight
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
The second I heard there was a connection I knew the telegraph would run a headline like this! It’s honestly disgusting - you can practically hear them rubbing their hands in glee. So may real questions ignored to push this
