Absolutely delighted to have my piece about ‘say it to own it’ in the @knowledge-hub.bsky.social blog!

Whilst history as a discipline has the right to exist purely because it is cool and interesting, it also opens up avenues of understanding the curriculum more widely. The most obvious examples include English, media and citizenship.

For many of us history teachers, the words we are using have been in our vernacular since our own school days. We’ve used them with ease through our degrees, teacher training and subsequent years in the profession. We own those words.

So how do share this ownership of key terminology with our students and how do we replicate the command of these words we use so easily?

What's yours?

Every year I set myself a teaching target.

I start small – usually just one class, usually in a lower year group.

To add accountability, I tell the group exactly what I’m doing and why and ask them to prompt me if I stop doing it.

Beyond that, I don’t force it – if something works well, I naturally start doing it with my other classes. This is what happened – dramatically quickly, actually – with visualisers.

Thank you - really glad you liked it!

I like this. Really clearly explains how you could introduce in your classroom and has me thinking about how to adapt this technique for Early Years. Listening is one of the skills we’re really working hard on at the moment.

Superb. Claire has allowed me to use this on the @knowledge-hub.bsky.social blog too. We're aiming to give blogging a boost and are particularly interested in classroom facing stuff like this. If you've got something you want us to share please let them (me) or me (me) know!

Also hat tip to @claireharley.bsky.social for "Say it to own it." Lovely phrase.
