Great day today with Department of Education, University of Oxford English student-teachers, grappling with the complexities of different texts when teaching about the Holocaust through literature. Thanks to the students for all their thoughtful contributions! Holocaust Education

It's wonderful to see Abby and the incredible colleagues from our Focused Provision for the Deaf NUSA FPU@NUSA sharing best practice and her expertise. I can personally say I've learnt so much from her (and the FPU team) this year and you shall too. #Inclusivity #BSL

Great day yesterday at School of Education (Bristol University) with History and RE trainees, focusing on foundational subject knowledge. Holocaust Education

Imagine having this level of confidence. Ancient Greek? Yeah knocked that out on 2 weeks of Duolingo.

Heartbreaking - Schools say increasing numbers of children are turning up sick because of dire housing conditions, if they turn up at all.

Everyone deserves to live in a decent home, it doesn’t have to be this way.

This incredible CPD opportunity has had the most profound impact upon our school community. Personally, it gave me direction and purpose at a time where I was questioning my career. Being a Beacon School is an honour, with great support from the centre and other schools!

This has been such a valuable experience and although we aren’t even one year in our students have benefitted incredibly. All schools should at least apply for this programme 🥰

Someone on here questioned why I would say that accounts like the one below are dog whistles for white supremacy.

Well, ok. Let's do this.

Holocaust Education Corey Helen McCord Arthur Chapman @arthurjchapman.bksy.social Star Academies Mufti Hamid Outwood Family Lawn Manor History Holmfirth High School Reads ICC History Jon Coles OrmistonAcads As a member of the 2023-24 cohort of Beacon School Lead Teachers, I honestly can't recommend this opportunity enough. From improving subject knowledge to changing aspects of pedagogy the programme has given me the confidence and the tools to teach this sensitivey and effectively.

I highly recommend applying for this prestigious opportunity as it can have transformational impacts upon not only your teaching practice and pedagogy but also have tremendous impacts upon your whole school. Being a UCL #BeaconSchool has impacted me in so many positive ways...

The more I think about it the more 'Social Mobility Tsar' is definitely a job from The Imperium of Man.

I don't have kids. I don't want kids. I still think kids and parents deserve to be out and about in the world. Some of my fondest childhood memories are sitting in the pub my dad worked in listening to adults chat shit.

It's time! Applications for the 2024 Beacon School Cohort are open. If you have any questions do shoot me a DM - we at Holocaust Education would love to work with you!

For all her faults I do admire Katherine Birbalsingh's insistence on tweeting like she's a Warhammer 40k character.
