Want some ideas about how to help your students improve their written work? John Hough will help you move beyond the ‘venerable PEED’.

Alex Fairlamb will be exploring how we can close the ‘transition chasm’ from KS2 to 3.
David Brown and Victoria Keitel will help you maximise feedback for A Level assessment.
A More Representative Gender Balance

Nicole Ridley will help us restore the balance of Key Stage 4 by helping us focus on the stories of women in the American West.
Empire and Colonialism
Salma Barma, Zaiba Patel, Emmy Quinn and Shahnaz Yasmin will look at the teaching of the British Empire ask “Whose story is it anyway?” and how can we centre the stories of colonised people.
Justin Varfadi and Sarah Whitehouse will suggest what best practice looks like when trying to decolonise a curriculum.

Amongst other things, Dan Lyndon-Cohen will also being talking about how you can do your own oral history as he takes you on a magical tour of South Asia, Manchester, Bradford and East London inviting you to participate in a range of practical activities that bring the voices of previously marginalised communities into the classroom.
Stories Big and Small
Rachel Foster will be giving examples of why a ‘knowledge rich’ curriculum doesn’t have to be ‘people poor’.
Martin Spafford and Matt Springett will be thinking about how we can ‘people the silences’ by using ‘small’ stories to open up big histories.
Books, Reading and Scholarship
Haighley Cobbson and Teni Oladehin will offer practical ways to bring your curriculum to life with books, books and some more books!
Jennifer McCullough and Ben Walsh will explore using new children’s history books to turn your teaching of World War II into a truly global story.
