That’s nasty?

This blog beautifully explains why generic t&l is v limited (beyond strong routines, behaviour management etc, but they're not teaching). We can't meaningfully judge, analyse improve, train or support teaching without being steeped in subject-specific, curricular shaping of the thing being taught.

Nevermind. Episode 4 was better 😩

Episode 3 of #ThePenguin is some of the best tv I’ve seen in a long time

Haven’t got round to watching half the stuff I wanted to over the summer hols, but thoroughly enjoyed the Gentlemen. Anyone got any last week recommendations?

Legend! I’ll DM now

Sound great. By any chance are you willing to share 4-6? 😬

Intrigued how you structure this one, Pete. I was going with an enquiry this year on ‘how similar were Stalin and Hitler?’ using the SHP Y9 book.

Hi everyone, especially #historyteacher and connected folk.

I have compiled a bit of a list of great history people to follow here, but do get in touch if I have missed you off! I want to build the ever-stronger network here.

Enough tinkering, rolling with this

Is @bsky.app a viable Twitter alternative? Of course. It does well what Twitter does well and does many other things better. But I understand why we ask. What we mean is: Is a non-Twitter version of ourselves viable? Or are we permanently addicted to messy drama and ragebait? Can we change? Hope so.
