I will never not shout from the rooftops about the brilliance of my MEdLPP group, (dream staff room!) and the MEdLPP ✨. Log on this evening at 6pm to listen to 4 talented and passionate professionals share about their Master’s research findings #EdChatIe dcu-ie.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

📢 New publication (from last month, yes, but still!) A scoping review of research on assessment in Ireland’s Leaving Certificate (1999–2024)! 📚 With the LC's centenary approaching, now is the perfect time to take stock of the empirical research on LC assessment. 🧵👇1/11

Great evening at DCU @danwuori.bsky.social. The panel discussion reinforced the need for a shift in how ECEC is viewed within the Irish education system, calling for education for children under 5 to be valued just as much as for those over 5—along with the professional recognition of educators 👏🏼

It was such a privilege to hear Prof. Ainscow (the first name on any reference list from my master's research!) and the panel discuss the past, present and future of inclusive education. I can't wait to see how the centre will grow and make a meaningful impact on Irish education. 🎒🎓🌟

Session 4 of the revived #edchatie is on the hot topic of 'AI in Irish education', hosted by @john-hurley.bsky.social. Monday evening, 8.30-9.30pm. Tune in and take part in Ireland's liveliest educational conversation.

A class action lawsuit is being taken against Heinemann for not including enough phonics in certain well-known literacy programmes. This article has my head spinning. Trying to think of what an Irish equivalent would look like... (1/3) #edchatie www.apmreports.org/story/2024/1...

Vote tomorrow, and then come on Monday evening to the first-ever #edchatie on Bluesky to say what you want in education from the new government. Tune in at 7.30pm on Mon 2nd December. Pass the word, and let others know this is a good reason for joining Bluesky...

For everyone in Irish education: a proposal to revive #edchatie Monday evening discussions on Bluesky. Every two weeks in term-time. First session details on the graphic. More: www.juliangirdham.com/blog/edchati... Please repost within Ireland as much as poss & spread the word elsewhere.

Delighted to be at the launch of DCU’s Centre for Literacy Research, Policy and Practice today! Eithne Kennedy’s whistlestop tour of Irish literacy research was so insightful—her focus on what we don’t know really highlights why this centre is so vital. Watch this space! 📚✨ @dcuioe.bsky.social

My latest @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social piece critically examines the shortcomings of education manifestos. It highlights how they often serve as voter-appealing tools rather than blueprints for systemic change and meaningful reform @dcuioe.bsky.social Link below 👇 www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

✍️📖💭 A bunch of #literacy focused #EdChatIE folk have started appearing on BlueSky. A Starter Pack for this interesting intersection: go.bsky.app/QtfSG3e I've surely missed some new joiners - and will hopefully welcome many more very soon! #WeknowourABCs
