Research that every teenager will embrace! Delayed secondary school start times lead to hefty academic & other benefits. An hour delay is apparently as good as reducing class size by a third. Let the arguments begin 😉 #edchat #sleep #teenager wol.iza.org/articles/educa…

Food dudes - what a waste. The idea behind it is good but how about local food producers visit local schools with fresh produce?? Mud and all? Waste is unbearable 🥴

€3 million per year is spent on Food Dudes...😬 Every year the feedback from pupils, parents & teachers, is the same: a box-ticking exercise, that ultimately creates food waste, and turns children off trying F&V. Bord Bia - The Irish Food Board please listen to the feedback & overhaul Food Dudes 🙏

I’m beginning the rollout of a problem-solving maths module for TY students. Completely free. Designed for my PhD, with all aspects research-based. Any maths teachers interested on here please get in contact via DM, or [email protected]

A friend of mine has students doing a project for the BT Young Scientist and they need your help with a survey on tyres. If any motorists could take 2 minutes to fill out this form, and then RT, that would be great! #YoungScientist tinyurl.com/tyresurvey23

There was a time when International students could take solace in Maths because they didn't encounter the language barrier. That was taken away with the promotion of context in mathematical tasks. This project also highlights impact for dyslexic students.

Looking forward to catching up with colleagues and presenting “Unveiling mathematical readiness for third level education and beyond”. Thanks to Irish Maths Teachers’ Association for organising.

Delighted to represent Atlantic Technological University at #SMEC2024 today with my presentation “Unveiling Algebra Readiness for Higher Education”. Great to meet so many researchers in science and maths education. Lots to takeaway.

I'm available this school year to do in-person, active engaging workshops with clear objectives. It's ideal for TY groups but can be tailored to other groups needs. Check the last slide for details, or message directly here. #BackToSchool #TYworkshops #STEM
