"Its a fantastic time to be in Sheffield City Centre at the moment. Full of light, and full of vibrancy and a buzz."

‘However, the removal of the EBacc measure, coupled with the Government’s proposed changes to Progress 8, puts the humanities in direct competition with each other and with the arts.’ Glad to see the HA aligning with @britishacademy.bsky.social on this: humanities AND arts, not either/or, surely?
The US & UK special relationship in perfect visual encapsulation
Can I have an inquiry as well over the photocopier getting jammed, somebody else being in the toilet when I was in a rush and then the projector remote control needing a new battery, all in the build up to one lesson the other day? Must be sabotage.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen America so embarrassed in front of the entire world.
He wouldn't know London if it "slapped him across the face with a wet kipper."
Ofsted has been accused of 'mission creep' after it emerged new inspections will mark down teacher training providers that allow the use of 'discredited' research – with the watchdog refusing to say what studies would fall into this category

Student perceptions of history

Your annual reminder that some have always vehemently opposed school history which encourages young people to develop their own ideas about the past and see history as a form of knowledge. It just reminds me though how important the changes @1972shp.bsky.social has brought have been! #historyteacher
Wow, what a find.
Saw this today, cracking film 😊
I can't think of a better team to write this book. Congrats @catherinepriggs.bsky.social @hughrichards.bsky.social @davidjhibbert.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social . History teachers- please do check it out.
Finally hit full in the face with Chat GPT generated final essays in one of my classes. I thought I had proofed things by requiring only sources from inside my course modules, citations, quotes, etc. but am seeing hallucinated citations (for book titles that don't exist). Unrelievedly depressing.
I've been saying to HE people for the last four years that they're going to have to go back to written exams and I always get a look that I've learnt means "do you have any idea how much of a faff/expense that is"?
Great article from @samgibbs.bsky.social. Restriction of teacher autonomy & lowering of expectations (by some) for #ITT students to deliverers of 100% preplanned materials is hugely problematic for retention & succession planning.
