Mike Hill Just caught up on the first two of these. Combined with hachette's YouTube videos with Christine, Paula and Hugh they make a really powerful portfolio of practical advice for teachers looking to adopt these ideas. You and Jacob are a great double team!

The Historical Assoc direct history teaching series with Mike Hill and Jacob Olivey History is so good. Great session yesterday where we got the opportunity to see what they do in lessons at Ark Soane. Loved this

My meeting with E D Hirsch today. Author of ‘The Schools We Need, and Why We Don’t Have Them’. This book has had huge influence on education reform in England between 2010 and 2024. Thank you, Don. ⁦Core Knowledge Foundation⁩

An advantage of knowledge-rich curricula over skills-based ones that I haven't seen discussed much is with the former students can see they are making progress—they know things they formerly didn't. When students see they are making progress they are more likely to invest effort.

I think it’s quite unhelpful when exam boards respond to teachers’ queries by suggesting they “become examiners.” Many, many teachers don’t have capacity for this – and surely exam requirements should be equally clear to all teachers?

Forget about schadenfreude, angst and poltergeist. The German loan word the English language really needs is 'Feierabend', that moment when work is done and leisure begins. In the name of intercultural exchange, I'm merging this with local traditions 😁🇬🇧🇩🇪 Happy Feierabend! 🍻

I remember when Chartered College of Teaching was started. Hope was that it would give more professional respect to teachers. So it’s v disappointing to see a ‘fellow’ of CCT, who doesn’t actually teach, but who does have CPD to sell, so eager to criticise those working hard to improve things.

A 4hr 26 min train journey to get to the SHP conference. What better way to pass the time than to lose myself in some incredible #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Book 3:Fragile Worlds chapters. Christine Counsell

Carl Hendrick The 2019 Ofsted framework moved away from “showing progress in lessons”, I hoped definitively. It will be a big step backwards for education if the idea returns.
