Ranking schools based on how many students went on to third level is a warped view of education.

The best schools in Ireland are those which unlock & nurture the potential of their students.

A carpenter in Cabra is no less than a barrister in Blackrock. Stop stigmatising trades

We do have 24 hours in a day but we don’t all have the SAME 24 hours. Some are able to fill their day with nothing but dream chasing due to the privileges that have afforded them that free time + money. Others don’t get that option + that’s not about not working/wanting it enough

It is a delight to witness Prof. Noirin Hayes receive the first ever OMEP Champion and Advocate for Children appointment. Noirin reminded us that when OMEP was established “the primary aim was driven from the heart..” ❤️

@thejournal_ie @noteworthy_ie Staff turnover means some children have no idea from week to week who their educator will be. Examine from a child's right perspective. Children have a right to consistent caring relationships, the bedrock of ECEC. Turn the tide. Invest in staff, stall turnover, protect children

@EarlyChildhdIRL @TeresaHeeney Well spoken Teresa! It's vital that the government hears these stories to understand the importance of proper funding in the entire sector- not just the universal preschool scheme #earlyyears

@melrooney_ Did you receive any feedback on this?

[Stuart Shanker & Co. @StuartShanker]

The one thing I have learned in all the work I've done with all the wonderful therapists and educators I worked with is this; a child can't learn to listen if they have not been listened to #SelfReg #ListenToAChild

#riskyplay and #playground design: lots of ground covered in this snappy 5-min video. While good #adventureplaygrounds are not the only antidote to overly safe #outdoorplay spaces, they highlight many of the key steps needed. https://t.co/iVoLf07LCl

“Government needs to increase investment to ensure proper pay and conditions for early years professionals so they are on a par with professionals in the wider care and education sector.” https://t.co/U2Ja1AuAId

@ProfLauraLundy I love this! It's such a clear, practical tool for including children's voices.
