A big focus across #HAconf22 was the increased use of historical scholarship to inform enquiries and curricular planning. The question was asked of how to access this scholarship. Here are my thoughts on how you can "Stack the Scholarship shelf" historyiseverystory.wordpres…
I did a folding frenzy review on the Russian Revolution with my class yesterday. Credit to @SPBeale for the awesome idea. #historyteacher #history
Can't believe @Boro beat Tottenham last night. Will be listening from Singapore to the #footballweeklypodcast #guardian coverage. Hopefully @maxrushden @bglendenning will not do the same as the Man Utd win and focus on why Tottenham lost rather than why Middlesbrough won. UTB!!!

I "plagiarised" a student assessment from my "old" GLOBAL CITY course in a letter in the FT on Borrusconi & "levelling up" (22/02/2021). Johnson's never had ideas beyond his own advancement. Survival is now everything for this "Global Britain" solipsist. @Precland @CasaLiverpool
How did I miss that there is a new season of Wondery 1865? Can’t wait to listen to this on my commute in the morning.

Rolling out the next phase of exam technique planners. These are for AQA Politics. 9 mark, 25 mark extract & 25 mark essay plans. Geared towards Paper 1 but mostly relevant to paper 2 & 3 as well. #aqapolitics

After a lot of thought I am trialing a structure guide for the AQA History A level NEA. Trying to show how to fit a line of argument argument, historical debate and source analysis into this 4500 word essay. Thoughts and feedback greatly received. #aqahistory

We’ve created a Google Drive to provide easy access to literacy planning resources. There are folders for: reading, writing, vocab and oracy. This will continue to be updated regularly. Link: drive.google.com/drive/folde… #edutwitter #literacy
Which one of these Christmas gifts should I read first? Think I am going to go with A Little History of Religion.

🧵I’ve had a couple people ask about this, so here are some things that might help HoDs right now:
1. Anticipate some pandemic-related disruption and remember you’re just one person. The pressures and stresses this term might bring aren’t your fault, or yours to fix alone.

GCSE Germany revision workbook + revision resources.
Format is: revise, check, apply, reflect.
Metacognition + retrieval.
Hoping it’ll be a useful homework tool for revisiting this paper and can check in during starters of lessons.
Scaffolding of q2 to support LPA✨1/2
Definitely time to stop teaching the MAIN causes of WWI in the traditional way @HistoryCafePod
Can’t believe I am only just discovering @HistoryCafePod Just listening to the Gunpowder Plot episode. Or, was there ever a plot to begin with… Loving it so far!

Tonight I will be hosting a radio show showcasing music coming out of Singapore. Some great songs from up and coming bands in Singapore. Show is on at 8 pm SG (1 pm UK). Just go to inyourearsmusic.com to listen to the show.
Just started reading Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain by @Ready4rigor . Love the breakdown of the Ready for Rigor Framework. Looking forward to applying this framework to create a more culturally inclusive classroom.
So, I tried something completely different this past weekend. I hosted a UK radio show promoting Singapore music. Here is a link if you would like to check it out open.spotify.com/episode/0yt…
