I first attended the
SHP conference in 2008. I remember being a bit nervous about not knowing anyone, but this turned out to be an unfounded concern, because what everybody at SHP has in common is a desire to be better History teachers.
Now we're nearly a decade on and the SHP conference has its own hashtag (
#shp17 this year), but it continues to offer outstanding CPD that lies at the cutting edge of our profession. What delights me every year is that there really is something for everyone, no matter where you're coming from or how long you've been doing your job.
