Much appreciated! For me, after #STER2025, I am wondering about ways we can support teachers in sharing their research. And how I specifically can help policymakers and other education stakeholders "see" and "use" that research and teacher expertise?

Excited to announce the keynote speaker for #STER2025 is Dane Stickney from Uni of Colorado Denver 🎉 Dane supports teacher development & conducts #YPAR research. At STER, Dane will introduce his new book & speak about his research on the sociopolitical gains from young people engaging in research

Dr Aimie Brennan @marinoinstitute.bsky.social summarises key messages to bridge the gap between research & practice #AERA2025: 1. Respecting teachers’ expertise & removing hierarchies. 2. Making research accessible via alternative outputs. 3. Approaching research as dialogue rather than output.

Dr Máirín Glenn @mairinglenn.bsky.social explored the concept of teacher-as-researcher and the work of @infoneari.bsky.social in supporting teachers to engage in research on their own practice #aera2025

Congratulations to colleagues flying the #ESAI flag at #AERA2025 in Denver. Our symposium took place this morning entitled ‘Innovative approaches to teacher professional development across the island of Ireland’

Great article in today’s Irish Independent by Tanya Sweeney on the work of Primary School teachers. Lovely to read such a tribute to their work.
