‘Meanwhile, elsewhere…’:

Many history teachers will already be familiar with ‘meanwhile, elsewhere...’, a website offering freely downloadable homework resources on individuals, events and developments in world history . In this article the website’s creators, Richard Kennett and Will Bailey-Watson, set out a curricular rationale for the project. They argue that using homework tasks to introduce pupils to concurrent events can help to better integrate world history into the curriculum by making it possible to build meaningful links between different topics. In doing so they also show how widening pupils’ geographical perspective on a period can sharpen their historical thinking by giving them a broader frame of reference and thus more points of comparison.

meanwhile, elsewhere…

If you haven’t yet found it, here’s a wonderful resource crowd-sourced from history teachers across the country. Richard Kennett (@kenradical) had the great idea to use KS3 homework time to get kids to find out what was going on somewhere else at the same time as the events they were studying in class. A brilliantly simple way to get breadth into a jam-packed curriculum. Will Bailey-Watson (@mrwbw) then suggested a crowd-source of these and has acted as co-ordinator and editor. The results are being posted on the website ‘ meanwhile, elsewhere. .’ and are free for everyone to use.

Curriculum Vision/Intent

Gcse history.

GCSE History focuses on the issues arising between nations during the turbulent 20th century, as well as in-depth studies in US and British History. If you have enjoyed what you have studied so far in History, you will enjoy the GCSE course.

As well as giving you the opportunity to study fascinating periods of History; you will gain valuable and transferable skills. Many employers and colleges value History very highly as you will have developed a range of skills such as communication, the ability to question and the confidence to develop your own opinions.

Throughout the course, students will study a number of units from different periods in history.

Below is a brief summary of the types of topics students can expect during the course:

• Migrants in Britain c800-present including the Viking invasion of York and the Empire Windrush with a focus on Notting Hill, exploring the Riots through to the carnival we enjoy today.
• Early Elizabethan England including changes to the church, Mary Queen of Scots’ and the Spanish Armada.
• US-Soviet relations including events in Cuba and Berlin.
• The development of civil rights in the USA including Martin Luther King and Malcom X as well as the US involvement in Vietnam.

Homework 

In KS3, students will be given a booklet each half term. This will include a page with key words and definitions, key dates and events and a final page with a 'Meanwhile, elsewhere' worksheet. The purpose of the homework is for students to learn and understand key terminology as well as developing a working chronology of key dates and periods studied. The final 'Meanwhile, elsewhere' worksheet allows students the opportunity to carry out a small amount of research and contextualize what was happening elsewhere in the world alongside the events being studied in class.

In KS4, the majority of homework tasks are follow-up work, preparation or examination questions.

Books, Equipment, Materials and Resources Recommended/Needed

A good stationery set is required at KS3 and 4.

Opportunities for Study Beyond KS4

A-level history combines well with maths and science subjects to create an attractive portfolio of qualifications, enabling students to move on to a university science based course. Combined with English, sociology, geography, drama or a modern foreign Language, it would provide a good basis for an arts or languages based degree.

Career Opportunities Supported by this Subject

History is still an academically respected subject as well as being highly valued and respected by employers who demand history students for the unique combination of skills they have gained during their studies.

Historical skills provide an excellent foundation for a number of popular careers. A knowledge of current affairs is useful for careers such as journalism, broadcasting, and the civil and diplomatic service. Historical skills like research are useful for careers in law, publishing, management, and librarianship and of course, careers where a knowledge of the past is important include architecture, archive work, heritage jobs, TV/radio programme research, conservation/natural history.

Making history homework worthwhile: value (Part two)

Will Bailey-Watson is a PGCE History leader. Here he discusses how vital it is for students to see why their homework is important.

Students need to feel that engagement with homework will lead to greater understanding and enjoyment in class. Here are some ideas.

• Try by beginning with a discussion about what they read at home. This can be structured around broad questions like: ‘You have three minutes to discuss with the person next to you, what was the most interesting thing you learned?’ This could be taken further to really get them thinking about what they already knew and what they read at home: ‘What was the most surprising thing you learned? And why was that?’ By discussing these with a peer, students will see the importance of having engaged with the homework and will be prepared to partake in a discussion about a historical topic/text.
• Expect them to retain what they learned at home. Too often, homework is seen as something that can just be forgotten in class, which gives the wrong impression about its value. Taking the first few minutes to ask some hands-down questions or to set a small low stakes quiz can help instil a culture that homework is not optional or disposable. (Although if you set the homework a few days before, it is reasonable to give them a minute or two to remind themselves of the homework.)
• Choose one of the following as appropriate: feedback, mark, display. It might be that students leave their completed homework on their desk during the lesson and you give verbal feedback as simple as ‘Brilliant, you did everything you were asked’. It might be that you decide to collect in and mark a typed GCSE answer, because it is Easter in year 11 and your marking comments will be understood and quickly processed by the student. It might be that the next time they see their work, it is stapled to the wall as an example of great practice. These are all ways of showing that their efforts were valued, and it is up to your professional discretion to decide which approach is most appropriate.
• Very simply, refer to the homework in your teaching. Explicitly draw on the content they needed to learn in their homework – this connects the home and class work, and students can see the connection.

With that in mind, here are five ideas for history homework that can work really well:

• Read an extract from a historian who is writing about a topic the students are studying. For instance, if students are studying the Norman Conquest, then a passage from the introduction of Marc Morris’ Norman Conquest could expose them to the debates, the arguments, new knowledge and the historian’s craft. Make sure you choose your passages carefully and structure with targeted questions if the text is challenging.
• Revisit and memorise key dates and events from previous lessons so the knowledge is secure for subsequent analysis. An example from my teaching came when I taught a three-lesson sequence on the Korean War and the final lesson culminated in a detailed, rich debate on ‘Who won the Korean War?’ In order for this analysis to be as meaningful as possible, I needed students to have secured the substantive content from the first two lessons, so set a homework to revisit everything they had learned.
• After a series of lessons, give students an empty timeline and get them to collate all their learning so far on the timeline. This will get them to think about the sequencing of knowledge and the relationship between different events.
• Research a topic or person before studying them in the next lesson. This will often give the students a head-start in the lesson when encountering new information, but also shows them that it is interesting and valuable to study the topic or person because so many other people have cared enough to produce materials on them.
• Get students to find out what else was happening in the world, alongside the content you are teaching in class. For this you might use a ‘Meanwhile, elsewhere…’ worksheet and expand students’ horizons beyond the taught curriculum. A wide range of free resources can be found on the meanwhile, elsewhere… website here .

One final word of caution: lots of homework is ‘finishing off’, but only set this if it is acceptable that part of the work was completed in different conditions. If it is an essay or assessed piece of work, it does not give you reliable data about their knowledge and understanding if half was completed in studious silence, and half with the TV on. It's something every training history teacher should consider!

Career Prep Answer Sheet

Career Prep: List Holiday Job on Resume?

Shutterstock

QUESTION: Jane just got a holiday job at the local department store wrapping gifts. She is looking for a full-time job as a civil engineer. So, this role isn’t related to her desired career path. Should she list you list a holiday job on your resume like she was considering

ANSWER: Jane should add the job to her resume, but not under Work History or Relevant Experience. Instead, she should have a category at the bottom of her resume called “Additional Experience” in which she can list this job as one she is taking to offset expenses. In this category, she can also add other forms of experience like volunteering. The goal is to find the right place to showcase this job on her resume!

Career Prep: Lie About Dates of Employment?

QUESTION: Bill has had several jobs in the last 10 years of his career. Each time, the company he was working for laid him off. There were several months of unemployment between the time he got let go and the new job he found. Now, Bill is concerned that all the gaps in employment, as well as the frequency of job changes is making him look unreliable. Bill wants to “fudge” the dates on his resume so at least it looks like he had no breaks in employment.

ANSWER: Bill should remove the months since they take up valuable white space and make it easier to read the dates. However, he shouldn’t lie in the interview about being laid-off. The fact is, when the employer goes to do reference checks, they’ll learn about the layoffs – which will make Bill a liar. Employers will rescind job offers if they find out you lied in the interview process. It’s better to be honest to avoid getting caught in a lie and lose out on the opportunity to work for that company forever.

Career Prep: Tell Friend Her Professional Weakness?

QUESTION: Allan has a best friend Felicity. They met at their first job out of college and worked together in the same department for five years. Recently, Felicity was laid off . She has been looking for work for 9+ months. She is getting very frustrated and asked Allan if he thought there was something about her that was costing her the jobs she interviewed for (she’s been on five interviews so far).

Allan does know that one of the reasons she was selected for the layoff was that she doesn’t communicate well with management. She is she around leaders and clams up. The shyness was being perceived as inexperienced and less competent by management, who felt she wasn’t as strong as the others who were more articulate and spoke up more.

ANSWER: Allan is not a career coach . Moreover, if he shares the real reason Felicity got laid off , it could come back to haunt him. Not only will she feel hurt an resentful, it will be hard for her to not be angry at Allan for knowing this and not sharing. Plus, if she were to tell someone and they told management, Allan would be seen as disloyal. Allan should encourage Felicity to contact her former manager for feedback. If the manager won’t provide any, Felicity should have someone do a reference check on her anonymously to see what is being said about her. Finally, Allan should recommend Felicity find a good career coach and let the expert determine what she can do to improve her job search skills. Allan’s focus should be on preserving the friendship, not fixing Felicity’s career problem.

Career Prep: Use Job Offer to Get Raise?

QUESTION: Greg has been feeling under-appreciated at his current job where he has worked for several years. He was recently contacted by a recruiter for a job and went on the interview. The company loved him and offered him a job with a 10% bump in pay. Greg liked the employer but had a few reservations about their office. At the same time, he really wants more money.

ANSWER: Telling the employer about the offer is not wise. While they might rush to give Greg a raise as a way to keep him, they won’t be keeping him for long. Now that they know he is unhappy, they’ll start to ensure that his job could be covered if he leaves tries this again. Moreover, they will expect more from him now that he demanded the raise. Greg needs to either stay where he is and work the proper channels to earn a raise, or leave the company for the new offer.

Career Prep: Lie About Current Salary in Interview?

QUESTION: Emma landed a job interview with a company that a friend works at. She knows what her friend is making and she is applying for the same role. Currently, Emma makes 30% less than what her friend makes. Emma is worried that if they ask her how much she makes and she is honest, they won’t give her the same starting salary as her friend. She really wants the money.

ANSWER: Emma should be honest about what she makes. The employer could ask when they do a reference check, at which point, she could get caught in a lie. She should also tell them one of the reasons she is looking for a new job is she wants more pay. Then she should give the rate she is hoping to earn. She shouldn’t mention that she knows what her friend makes, though. She should just focus on her needs and not compare herself to anyone else. Then, she should impress the heck out of the hiring manager and hope he agrees she’s worth it!

Career Prep: Job is Open... Again, Do I Apply?

QUESTION: Emmy applied for a job three months ago and got a call from the recruiter . She did a brief phone screen (15 minutes) and the recruiter said she’d be in touch. Emmy wasn’t prepared for the call and felt she didn’t do as well as she could have. She never heard from the recruiter again. Now, three months later, Emmy sees the job has been reposted.

ANSWER: Since Emmy was screened for the job and not contacted, she is most likely on file as not a match for the job. So, applying again or contacting the recruiter will result in another rejection. Emmy needs to go around the process and find people who actually work at the company to talk to. If she can connect via LinkedIn with some employees, she could ask them for the status of the job, as well as advice on the best way to connect directly with the hiring manager. At this point, she has nothing to lose and everything to gain by finding another way to get considered for the position.

Career Prep: No Vacation Time But Need Time Off

QUESTION: Eric just started a new job six months ago and has no vacation time accrued. He just learned that his brother is getting married at a destination wedding. He would need to take four days off from work to attend. He asked his boss about taking the time off and making it up, and was told the company doesn’t allow it.

ANSWER: Calling in sick will be suspect. Plus, Eric wouldn’t be able to talk about the wedding (or the tan he had!). Taking the time off unpaid is the wisest choice. Eric should also do his best to work overtime on his own to cover as much of his work as he can so that his co-workers aren’t left with it. The fastest way to make enemies in the office is to dump your work on them so you can go enjoy yourself. Do on to others as you would have done to you!

Career Prep: New Job Can’t Be Done in Time Allotted

QUESTION: Christa is a recent grad who just got a new job at a start-up. Within two weeks, she is miserable and wants to quit . The problem is the workload. She was hired to work 40 hours per week and has been explicitly told she cannot work overtime. Yet, the amount of work that needs to be done is taking far longer than the 40 hours. Christa can tell her boss feels she is not working fast enough, but Christa can’t see how to work any faster. Her boss used to do her job and says it's possible.

ANSWER: Christa should sit with her boss and see what she can do more efficiently. If possible, she should try to do some work at home after hours on her own as well. Often, jobs get easier/faster once the learning curve is done. Two weeks is too soon to tell if Christa can do the job. Christa should give it two months and do whatever she can to get the work done each week. Most likely, she will find her groove and be able to master the workload in the time allotted.

Career Prep: Co-worker Botched Job, Should I Tell?

QUESTION: Evan works on a team that had a major project due for a client. Evan is the main contact for the client. Three days after it was due, the client called furious to say there was an error. Evan realized the error was due to his co-worker Kyle’s portion of the job.

ANSWER: Evan should have Kyle fix the problem. Then, he should call the client personally to apologize. As the main contact, Evan shouldn’t be making excuses to the client - he should just solve it as quickly as possible and say sorry for the error. Then, Evan and Kyle should discuss the right way to let their boss know together. By including Kyle in the process, Evan shows his support of his co-worker and earns his trust. If the situation were reversed, I’m sure Evan would want the same treatment.

Career Prep: Can Company Change Compensation At-Will?

QUESTION: Eric was hired as a client services rep for his company. He is not a union employee. A year after he started, he’s just been informed that the company is creating two new client services positions. A senior-level and junior-level. Each has a set pay rate. Eric is being told he fits in the junior-level category and will take a 5% paycut compared to his initial pay.

ANSWER: Eric is an at-will (non-union) employee, so the company is within their rights to change the job structures and the compensation that goes with it. In this case, he is essentially be offered a transfer to a job within the new structure. As a result, if he says “no” and doesn’t take the job, it will be seen as him quitting and will make it next-to-impossible for him to collect unemployment.

Career Prep: Is Employer Required to Pay Me for Hurricane Day?

QUESTION: Maria is an hourly worker. She regularly gets 40 hours/week at her employer. Last week, they closed the office and told her she didn’t need to come in because of a hurricane. When Maria got her paycheck, she was only paid for 32 hours. She assumed she should have been paid for the hours since she was available to work and it was the company’s decision to close. Meanwhile, she knows the salaried employees at the company won’t be docked any pay.

ANSWER: As an hourly employee, the company can dictate how many hours they use Maria. Since they closed the office and didn’t use her, they are not required by law to pay her. It's at the discretion of the employer if they want to pay employees affected by an unexpected office closing. If she accrues personal or vacation time as part of her employment, she could have asked to use that make up the difference in her pay.

Spring Cleaning: 4 Ways To Fix Your Job Search

Is your job search turning into a grind with no end in sight? It may be time to take a step back and reevaluate your entire approach.

In cold weather climates, the beginning of spring is a time to clean the house and get organized—a practice known as spring cleaning. Through the years, spring cleaning has taken on a larger meaning with people using the time to organize and declutter things in their lives.

For professionals on the job hunt, a little spring cleaning (metaphorically speaking) could be a great way to reinvigorate your job search. Here are a few strategies your job search spring cleaning should include.

Reevaluate Your Job Search Approach

Make a list of the last handful of jobs you applied for and see if you can identify any positive or negative trends. Consider things like:

• How did I learn about this job?
• How did I apply for the job?
• Did I earn an interview?
• What was the ultimate result?

A lot can be learned about your job search approach just by answering these questions and identifying patterns. For example:

Negative Trends

You discovered five jobs through job boards, applied to all of them via the job boards, and never heard back from any of them.

The common pattern here is applying through job boards. This isn't to say that job boards don't serve a purpose in the job search process, but they have their limitations , and you can't run your job search entirely off of them. When you apply through a job board, there's a good chance that your materials will never get past the applicant tracking system (ATS) and never be seen by an actual person.

One simple fix is to research who the hiring manager or recruiter is that posted the position and email your materials to them directly.

The more efficient fix would be to take a proactive approach by putting together a bucket list of companies that you want to work for and start making connections on LinkedIn with people who work at those companies. You may already know some people who work there or have connections that can refer you to some individuals.

This is a great way to network your way onto a company's radar.

Positive Trends

You applied to three jobs via referral, were invited to two job interviews, and made it through multiple rounds of interviews for one of the jobs before being passed over for someone with a little more experience.

The pattern here is that getting referred to a job by a professional acquaintance is a great way to land a job interview . This indicates that you're leveraging your network well and you should continue to focus on your networking efforts.

The next step is to review the interview process and determine what went well and what needs to be improved. Sometimes the interviewer will provide feedback , and that feedback can be valuable. However, not everyone is comfortable with giving feedback.

Chances are you probably have a good idea about areas of improvement and the skills you need to gain. Put together a plan for addressing those shortfalls.

The good news in making it deep into any interview process is that it indicates that the company likes you as a potential employee (even if the timing just wasn't right) and the experience could be a roadmap to a job with that company at a later date, or another similar opportunity elsewhere.

Give Your Resume & Cover Letter Some Much-Needed Attention

Are you continuously sending similar resumes and cover letters to each job opening with only minor adjustments? If so, your strategy needs some serious spring cleaning.

Let's start with resumes!

Every resume should be tailored to the position in order for it to stand out to recruiters and hiring managers . It may seem like a lot of work, but it's actually less work than submitting the same resume over and over again and never hearing back.

The reason why it's so important to tailor your resume is that throughout your career, you acquire numerous skills, but the job you're applying for may only be focusing on 6-8 of those skills. In that case, those skills must rise to the top of the resume with quantifiable examples of how you successfully used those skills at previous jobs.

Remember, recruiters go through hundreds of resumes. They need to be able to tell from a quick glance whether or not you're a potential candidate for the position.

While updating your resume, you could also spruce up your LinkedIn profile by highlighting the skill sets that you want to be noticed for by recruiters.

As for writing a good cover letter , the key to success is writing a disruptive cover letter . When you write a disruptive cover letter , you're basically telling a story. The story should focus on how you connect with the particular company and job position. The story could also focus on your personal journey, and how you got to where you currently are in your career.

If your resumes and cover letters aren't unique, now is the time to clean things up and get on track.

Build Your Personal Brand

Just because you're looking for work doesn't mean that you don't have anything to offer. Use previous career experiences and passions to build your personal brand .

Ask yourself, "How do I want other professionals to view me?"

Pick an area of expertise and start sharing your knowledge and experience with your professional network by pushing out content on your LinkedIn and social media accounts. Good content can include blogs, social media posts, and videos.

By sharing content about your experiences and passions, you slowly build your personal brand, and others will start to notice. The content could lead to good discussions with others in your network. It could also lead to reconnecting with connections that you haven't spoken to in years, or making new connections.

You never know when one of these connections could turn into a job lead or referral. The trick is to get on people's radars. So, when you're cleaning up your job search, be sure to build a plan for personal branding.

Maintain Healthy Habits During Your Job Search

Your job search is important, but it's even more important to know when to pull back and focus on personal health and spending time with family and friends.

There are actually things that you can do for your own enjoyment that could help your job search in the long run, such as:

• Grab coffee with a friend - It's good to engage in light conversation with friends during challenging times. And if your job search does come up, remember that most people have been through it themselves and you never know when a friend may provide you with a good idea or lead on a job.
• Volunteer - Volunteering is a great way to get involved in the community and help others. In addition, if you develop a little bit of a career gap while looking for a job, you can always talk about how you filled that time volunteering, if you're asked about it during a job interview.
• Continue to focus on other passions - Are you a fitness nut? Blogger? Crafter? Continue to do the things that bring you happiness. And if you're in a position to profit from your passion through a freelance job or side hustle , even better!

Spring is the perfect time to clean up and improve your job search so you can land the job you want. If you're struggling to find a job, follow the tips above to reinvigorate your job search—and watch your career blossom!
