Immensely proud to have received the #ESAI ECR Award today. @esai-irl.bsky.social thank you so very much.

A great few days at #esai25 of presenting and meeting colleagues and friends, old and new. Nothing quite like it to fill up my own research bucket and to motivate me dissertation-wise. Meeting Gaston McCarthy was the best. 😊 @dcuioe.bsky.social

It's going to be a great few days in Athlone for #esai25. I'll be taking part in one of the ERC roundtables, where I will be discussing my critical policy analysis of Droichead and teacher induction in Ireland. ➡️ Full paper here: zenodo.org/records/1441... @dcuioe.bsky.social

A good book with a more than decent pint in Neary's... a not-too-shabby bank holiday Sunday evening.

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

Freaky speed from Gleeson here. Breaks off the side of the scrum, runs 45m keeping up with outside backs and then makes the turnover. 6'4, 115kg - mutant stuff. #SUAF

That lovely feeling when students tell you that they're happy you're teaching them again this semester. I've had worse Tuesdays. 😊

Okay, it’s impossible to do today. Instead I’m launching a “No Musk Bluesky Sunday” for next Sunday, 19 Jan. Folks, just try not to post about him here for one day. Please. Please RT the hell out of this.

Sweet Jesus... I don't think I can listen to this kind of rubbish for four years...

Today's youngest college students face a scary future. They tend to be risk-averse and distrust administrators and faculty members. Colleges that help them feel connected will flourish and contribute to a thriving society. chroni.cl/4j1HP9X

OMG, it is fitting.

We've had a great response to our survey so far but would appreciate help to spread the word to teachers in the UK. Please feel free share with interested colleagues ➡️ bit.ly/3CcD3Fu Many thanks for the reposts.💐

behold: the proletariat forced to consume the branded tie-in of their elven oppressors. silent sentinels of capital, whose watchful eyes monitor even the intestinal tracts of the cereal-eating underclass.

2 years ago, I was trying to wrap my head around critical policy analysis & asking @alangorman.bsky.social all the questions...😜 So, it's particularly satisfying to have this critical analysis of teacher induction policy in Ireland published. @dcuioe.bsky.social zenodo.org/records/1441...

I'm re-reading this months later and still can't make sense of the sample size. 4 DEIS schools were consulted by the OECD as part of this review. 4 out of the 1,193 DEIS schools in the country. That's 0.3%. In a review commissioned by the Min for Ed. #edchatie www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...
