I really wish other education commentators like carlobrien & emma o kelly would report on the teachers’ experience like Breda. Irish educational discourse in our media is heavily tilted towards the Department of Education’s viewpoint.

The most important article to read this weekend if you’re a parent, student, teacher or anyone interested in Irish education (or if you are the Minister for Education Helen McEntee TD). #lcreform

The department and Minister doubling down on pay threats in light of the ASTI vote, rather than acknowledging their concerns. Linking “support measures” to pay was a reprehensible threat in the first place and the ASTI membership have gladly seen through that, voting instead to

There is nothing positive about the changes that Norma Foley rushed through. No one knows why she was in such a hurry. The obvious, logical, human, education based, student focused solution is to pause the whole shitshow, but McEntee is in Gov with Foley...

Why isn't there any equipment for the Drama, Film and Theatre course? Why is English LC postponed? Why is Accounting LC postponed? Why are the new LC science subjects inequitable? Why do Business teachers not know exactly what to teach? Because the Dept won't listen to teachers.

A really important, meaningful, and, unfortunately, quite sobering reflection on the conundrum of JC English. My immediate response is to wonder why JC English hasn't been re-redeveloped before moving onto LC English Redevelopment...

I've been a bit fascinated by this question since I wrote my recent blog. In order to get "reposts" on any social media platform you need an image, better still, a video. But, crucially, what you really need to know in order to answer this question is WHAT social media platform.

Read this thread Although it's about online media discourse it does seem to be relevant in terms of the direction the JC English exam is going Structure Techniques Character 'rules' "Messages" These are pushed to the fore. Themes, discussions, our personal reactions are ignored

A quantification of what wise old English teachers inherently feel about the intrusion of AI into the learning space. Learning is hard work, AI-ing isn't. Predictable consequences...

Even in the best-case scenario, if AI guidelines dropped this week, the vast majority of teachers would have just 8 weeks to master, implement and guide students on AI in redeveloped LC subjects. That’s 8 weeks (when many teachers are correcting exams) to go from zero to

A clear summary by Emma O'Kelly of where we are with Senior Cycle reform. As the Deputy Chief Inspector points out, most subjects have non-examined elements. As teachers of those subjects point out, most of those assessments are already riddled with AI. rte.ie/news/education…

This was one of Foley's more ignorant decisions. Imagine not testing out a new drug, a new car, a new novel (first draft), a new drink, a new shoe, a new anything, and just releasing it into the world presuming it's perfect.

"Creating a middleman by using AI is a waste of my time, a dereliction of my duties, and feels too much like teaching by focus group." Knowing our students through their writing (and talking!) is one of the great privileges of being an English teacher. Connection matters.
