Looking at changing an option for our A level in my new school. Anyone who teaches AQA History A level - which topic 2 do you teach and how have you found it? My expertise is in section 1 when previously taught the A Level. Thanks βΊοΈ #AQAHistoryALevel

Any teachers who teach AQA GCSE Elizabethan England- which textbook do you prefer to use to support the course? I havenβt taught it for 3 years and now planning ahead to help department who have never taught it whilst Iβm on maternity! Any thoughts would be helpful? #AQAHistory

Love this from @Counsell_C! Constant reading so important for all history teachers and is why twitter and @historybookgrp for recommendations are so important.

We all have mental health; sometimes it's great, other times it's not. Some of us have long term diagnosis, whilst some of us will only suffer temporarily.
Either way, we all need to talk about #mentalhealth & not just today. Let's make it the norm!

Why do history teachers get pupils to read at length? What are the history-led rationales? How have these teachers lured pupils into reading more than we dared think possible? All the wisdom in @histassoc June TH What's the Wisdom on..? history.org.uk/publications/β¦ First 3 pages:
I do enjoy the peace of bedtime β¦ laying in bed for 5-10 mins reflecting as step son snoozes away π΄β¦ after this week though im ready to sleep myself!
Feel like my voice is hurting more than usual ... anyone else having to speak a lot louder to be heard through their mask π· π€£π€£ #edutwitter #teacherproblems
Looking at KS3 history curriculum time potentially going from 4 hours a fortnight to 2! π’ How do I collapse our curriculum and decide which content to keep and lose π€― #Historyteacher #edutwitter
Challenged my tutor to a virtual bake off ... so naturally I just baked a lot this morning π¬ thanks @janespatisserie for some wonderful recipes
So proud of our NQTs in our department, through a pandemic where training has been disrupted and now face to face teaching, well done everyone training to teach and completing their NQTs this year, your resilience is brilliant π
