[🧵2/9] Spotlight this week on our Class & Social Mobility KS3 history resource pack created by @adschapman ➡️a 7-lesson scheme following the enquiry:

How far has mass education been responsible for changes in class and social mobility since 1945?

#historyteacher @histassoc
[🧵3/9] Lesson 1: Introduction 🤓 Pupils learn the big picture of social change in the UK post-Second World War in relation to education and get an overview narrative, incl. economy, race & immigration, single sex & co-education, changing social attitudes Image
[🧵4/9] Lesson 2: Class and social mobility. Pupils get to grips with the two substantive concepts that will underpin their work through the entire enquiry - class and social mobility - looking at some graphs & using ‘Social Mobility Character Cards’ #socialmobility @suttontrust Image
[🧵5/9] Lesson 3: "Secondary education for all". Pupils will understand the ‘bipartite’ system of education in Britain after 1944 & try to apply the Origins–Education–Destination [OED] triangle to education – tough but important stuff! Image
[🧵6/9] Lesson 4: Ladders of opportunity? Pupils assess the (limited) impact of the ‘bipartite’ system of education on class and social mobility, with help from a video of historian David Cowan discussing two key sources on class & social mobility

Image
[🧵7/9] Lesson 5: Grammar schools for all. An opportunity to pause the enquiry & allow pupils to enjoy spending time with the rich variety of source material that is used by social historians of the C20, & to try out applying historian's methods to these sources... Image
[🧵8/9] Lesson 6: Comprehensive success. This lesson reinforces pupils’ understanding of comprehensivization & gives them the opp to analyse written sources that reveal its impact. They’ll use newspaper reports and school log books entries written by Head teachers ImageImage
[🧵9/9] Lesson 7: Education, education, education. The final lesson considers the relationship between comps & social mobility in final quarter of the twentieth century, pupils will return to reflect directly on the enquiry question! Image
