pickThe solid history of the path to parliament for NZ women that we all need. We love to celebrate ourselves as “world leaders” for enfranchising women, and this often overshadows the less progressive attitudes to women in politics which characterise much of our political history beyond this decision. A niche interest perhaps but an excellent book. #historyteacher
Just a #historyteacher nerd, trying to spend the budget before the end of the school year (when am I going to read all these? Spy the sneaky gross Chardonnay 🤮)
pickAn excellent collection of essays discussing the nature of History teaching and education at both primary and secondary levels in Australia. Although a bit removed from my own context, there was a lot of insightful and relevant discussion here, that is directly relevant to our practice in New Zealand. I found the analysis around the politicisation of curriculum, and the tensions of teaching colonial, contact History effectively most engaging.
New classes, new topics, new textbook reads. #historyteacher #teachersoflitsy
Great quote- might open a lesson with this when I‘m teaching Nazi Germany this year... #historyteacher
pickHighly recommend this book if you are in education/ going into education/ thinking about going into education. Great tools, easy read and definitely helpful no matter what content area you're in. #historyteacher #gradschoolgrind #teacherlife
