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?

If you, or one of your students, would like to submit a snapshot article to the #STERJournal for review, please get in touch: [email protected] The deadline for inclusion in Volume 7 of the journal is 30 June 2025. @sterireland.bsky.social

So many interesting sessions & a chance to meet with Irish & Int’l colleagues. #AERA2025 did not disappoint! Highlights for me: ESAI Symposium Dane Stickney’s book launch Fireside chat on Ethics Presidential address Best of luck to those presenting today!

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

Dr Aideen Hunter & Dr Shauna McGill @ulsteruni.bsky.social discussed how the Hypatia project addresses numeracy education in FE programmes in NI. #aera2025

Prof Tony Hall @uniofgalway.bsky.social spoke about designing a national digital platform (TREX) for teacher professional learning #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’
