Congratulations to Eoghan Long on receiving the Victor W. Graham award for Applied Mathematics.

Our brains are wired to forget, but there are research-backed strategies you can use to make your teaching stick. Here are some of them: 🧵 1/12

I quite like this memory model from Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) particularly the distinction between facts, concepts and procedures. A very helpful way to think about how learning happens.

The NCCA have published guidelines for teachers to support the AACs in the new Senior Cycle Sciences. Chemistry: curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/fbcaa… Biology: curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/fc649… Physics: curriculumonline.ie/getmedia/661fe…

Delighted to see this paper published today. In it we see Irish maths teachers say “grinds” are driven by exam pressure, income needs & systemic gaps. Most teachers provide grinds to supplement pay but some worry it worsens inequality & masks deeper issues in maths education.
