Excited to join another fabulous Historical Assoc webinar led by brilliant history teachers, this time by Jonathan Grande focusing on assessment in history! #historyteacher
Short and sweet. This week I am testing recall from knowlwdge organiser homework I have set previously. Let's see if they retain some knowledge! #historyteacher
West Virginia would rather their 10th graders be able to identify Civil War battles as opposed to the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation. It's not so bad. At least students are expected to identify the causes of 'succession.' Unbelievable. #historyteacher
So impressed with my Y8 classes and their engagement with our Industrial Revolution enquiry. So interesting to be discussing the ideas of historians like Arnold Toynbee and Emma Griffin too. #historyteacher
Really pleased with my 1st lesson for our new unit using the new KS3 History ‘Fight for Rights in Modern Britain’. Shows that a curriculum is never truly ‘done’. We’re on a new journey bringing exciting, different & diverse history to our kids! #HistoryTeacher #LGBTHistory 🍎 🏳️🌈
Come on, exam boards! You need to do better. Representative specifications are possible and necessary #historyteacher
