It’s been a long time in the works but really pleased to say SHP Curriculum PATHS is finally out in the world. This is all about putting teachers at the heart of curriculum making again. Please do have a read and be part of the change we need in history teaching. #historyteacher

A direct connection between this and the origins and aims of the Schools Council History Project 13-16 in the early 1970s - this focus on students' needs as the centre of planning and teaching was exactly what made SCHP exciting to me and many others back then.

It wasn't a warm day as you can see but Helen still listened as I wittered on about my friends from 600 years ago - she was so good at the small but life-affirming gestures of friendship as well as in her huge contributions to history teaching

Discovered that my Tudor Century book costs 70p plus postage these days - 400 pages crammed with sources and quotations from historians, diagrams etc . Pub in 1993 but lots of that must still be useful for A level amazon.co.uk/Tudor-Century-…
