#HistoryEducation anyone seen this in UK?

A helpful blog for #historyteacher #mentors who often find themselves discussing sensitive and controversial issues in the classroom and may want to think through what this means for their #ITT and #ECT students as well as considering what their wider experiences in school might be.

Fabulous opportunities to network and connect over lunch. real sense of being part of a national staff room of #historyteacher #TeacherEducation colleagues.
#HTEN2026 @htenuk.bsky.social

Wonderful to see the work of Joe Smith of University of Stirling that was presented at a previous @htenuk.bsky.social conference referenced to help us begin thinking deeply about curriculum purpose and underpinning ideology.

@htenuk.bsky.social discussions in the afternoon

Now we have the brilliant Robin Whitburn @justice2history.bsky.social exploring how engaging with the scholarship can look different for #ITT #historyteacher s from simply building SK to reflecting on historical knowledge to discover purpose.

"The aim is not to replace one ready-made narrative with another. It is to equip students with the analytical tools to interrogate anu claim about the past - WHEREVER they encounter it" 👌 #HistoryEducation #TeacherEducation #HTEN2026 @htenuk.bsky.social

Very pleased to welcome to @htenuk.bsky.social #HTEN2026 our colleague Marc-André Éthier from University of Montreal to speak about his work using media (including video games, graphic novels, poetry, performing arts etc), to stimulate historical enquiry and critical thinking.

Research question
How is the process of lesson planning understood and enacted by history teachers, with what implications for the professional preparation of teachers?

Really useful to hear from @jcarrollhistory.bsky.social & Katharine Burn @htenuk.bsky.social about their research providing interesting test data to back up what so many of us see in our contexts around #ITT beginning teachers' opportunities to plan.
#TeacherEducation #HistoryEducation #HTEN2026

Katharine begins by mentioning NEU concerns about the loss of autonomy implied by centralised planning. Then she looks at PGCE data from Oxford last year in their first term. Reassuring that there is some flexibility (for teaching, and possibly therefore, for learning). Is History an outlier?
