I also maintain that by preventing pupils from being taught about any of these topics in a safe classroom environment just drives them online, where they will uncritically absorb harmful and extreme views. Teachers are *trained* to handle this sensibly and professionally.

I would argue that setting age limits on key Sex Ed content only serves predators by denying knowledge and thus self advocacy to young people. Studies show that early, explicit, and open Sex Education *reduces* early experimentation and engagement in risky sexual behaviours.

I believe the guidance:. Seeks to censor the free exchange of information through education. (Not a good luck for a democracy. Dictates teaching resources, content, and methods. Demonises and disempowers trans youth. .

TEACHERS RT: The DfE consultation on draft PSHE guidance closes in five days. Tiny 🧵 below on my views on why the proposals are harmful. Whatever you believe - I encourage you to fill out the survey. When a government consults, we can shape policy!.

Calling all #historyteacher of the #BritishEmpire - I have a superb student doing her coursework on the impact of the #BritishRaj on India, but she’s struggling to find primary source evidence for economic impacts. Any tips on where she can look? :-).

Perhaps it’s just my feed - but I feel like the scale of today’s industrial action isn’t getting any media love?! This is huge.

We’ll always want to improve (hey, we’re teachers so feedback is our gig) but I’m incredibly fortunate to work at a school where every single member values education - from the brightest-eyed Y7s to SLT and governors. It’s what keeps me going as a teacher šŸ¤“.

If you love your school like this teacher, and like I do (even if we did have a load of infighting this week!) then tell us. There has to be more good than bad out there and we always hear the moans and the toxicity. Let’s hear it for the good news!!!!.

I tweeted out a #historyteacher plea for any Remembrance Day slides, but there didn't seem to be anything out there, so here is my contribution in case it helps anyone else looking for the same thing!

@lamb_heart_tea I saw some amazing stuff on your feed a few times about LGBT+ soldiers in WW1? You also seem like exactly the person who would know where I should look for anything relevant to my question! (Sorry - is directly tagging you Twitter taboo? šŸ™ˆ).

Hello #historyteacher (s) - I am looking ahead to Remembrance and would like to share some slides on our school display screens. I’d like to remember an authentically diverse group of those who served. Does anyone have anything I could borrow / recycle / draw inspiration from?.
