Fascinating deep dive, from Sarah Longair's keynote, into the material culture of the Seychelles including the coco-de-mer tree and the beautiful hand crafted objects that were produced by indigenous artisans #SHPDTC26
Really enjoyed presenting at the SHP Developing History Conference today. Lots of ideas to share.
This post also goes through some of the ideas I shared - substack.com/home/post/p-...
Please get in touch if you'd like a copy of any of the resources and ideas #SHPDTC26 #historyteacher
Wow! What a way to kick off Dr Sarah Longair's keynote for #SHPDTC26 with this fascinating look at the 'Yoruba' Queen Victoria
@missrcarter89.bsky.social sharing a wide range of opportunities to build knowledge in lessons to support pupil engagement #SHPDTC26
@msquinnhistory.bsky.social arguing that primary students can engage really effectively with contested artefacts, and showcasing the work that she does on the Benin Bronzes #SHPDTC26 @profdanhicks.bsky.social, who will be giving our keynote at the 2026 SHP summer conference will be very interested!
@samdayhistory.bsky.social & @jbhistory.bsky.social using a series of scenarios to raise questions about ECT experiences.
This one is a belter.
#SHPDTC26
@samdayhistory.bsky.social and @jbhistory.bsky.social sharing their lived experiences as History ECTs by discussing a range of scenarios that will help other ECTs to empower themselves #SHPDTC26
Our final primary workshop from @msquinnhistory.bsky.social about using historical artefacts in the primary classroom - and straight off the bat she mentions how powerful they are as a tool for decolonising the curriculum #SHPDTC26
Really important- we need something to hang it all on! @msquinnhistory.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social #SHPDTC26
Really looking forward to this! I would love to work in a middle school and am very jealous as a result.
@1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social @msquinnhistory.bsky.social #SHPDTC26
My final #SHPDTC26 'hosting' sees @samdayhistory.bsky.social & @jbhistory.bsky.social talk about empowering history ECTs to stand out in a one-size-fits-all era of subject pedagogy. Thrilled to see these ECT2s present, as I've met them a couple of times at #SHP events over the past couple of years.
An excellent session by @oblaize.bsky.social on why a diverse and decolonial curriculum matters and the value of connecting local to global histories. Loved the comment about teaching diverse stories not only in diverse settings but across the country because "it’s just good history!". #SHPDTC26
@petejackson.bsky.social sharing the wide range of opportunities to design brilliant enquiry questions in the History classroom #SHPDTC26
Otis diving deep into the Brixton Uprisings as a powerful case study in opening up diverse perspectives #SHPDTC26 with a focus on the role of young people, making it more meaningful for the learners
@fredoxby.bsky.social getting a lot of fascinating responses in the comments around student confidence in answering exam style questions #SHPDTC26
@petejackson.bsky.social key 'do's and dont's' for good enquiry questions #SHPDTC26. Major 'DO' is to teach @cambridgeocr.bsky.social #SHP #HistoryGCSE you can teach through enquiry questions and continue the great work you do at KS3.
Probably 5/6 years to go until new specs; good time to switch now
Emotional understanding/empathy- interesting @rjharris.bsky.social
Current! For me at least!
#SHPDTC26 @1972shp.bsky.social
@petejackson.bsky.social getting into the heart of it at #SHPDTC26. The difference between church/Church. Students need 'meaningful examples' and 'repeated encounters'. Norman conquest, Becket, Black Death, now students can interrogate the importance of HVIII's break with Rome.
@petejackson.bsky.social is sharing his expertise in building a powerful historical enquiry at ks3 #SHPDTC26, starting with the importance of diverse perspectives
eally relevant session about children’s emotional engagement with the past @1972shp.bsky.social @danlyndon.bsky.social I’ve been thinking a lot about empathy currently so this is helping! #SHPDTC26
Session B at @1972shp.bsky.social Developing Teachers’ Conference is just starting. Otis Blaize unpacking how we approach diversifying and decolonising the curriculum. Great to see the @uclpress.bsky.social Teaching Slavery book being referenced here #SHPDTC26
Connie loved Stuart Tiffany’s session about developing historical thinking- brilliant and useful as usual #SHPDTC26 @danlyndon.bsky.social @1972shp.bsky.social
Correction! I saw Nick at the SHP summer conference in Leeds and it was still brilliant. Here he is explaining what school history is for and asks some critical questions #SHPDTC26
Session 2: 'What makes a great key stage 3 enquiry' with @petejackson.bsky.social fresh from his millionth Park Run! Pete is the teacher I want to listen to, he always has good ideas so make sure you catch up with his #SHPDTC26 session.
Really looking forward to this session for primary teachers of history with Nick Mackintosh, on emotional history - I saw this live at the SHP Yorkshire History Forum in Sheffield last year and it was brilliant #SHPDTC26
Thank you so much for posting. This is exactly the book that @gemmamh.bsky.social was talking about in her #SHPDTC26 session on interpretations. I will be checking it out.
Came across this while listening to @gemmamh.bsky.social talking about Nur Jahan at #SHPDTC26.
@gemmamh.bsky.social using scholarship to inform teaching of interpretations at #SHPDTC26. Letting her passion, for Hamilton!, drive students' understanding of interpretations. Not all interpretations are 'mirrors'. Investigating Downton Abbey and social class in Edwardian Britain.
