Data is critical to improvement but without a meaningful context it's difficult to use data to promote change. When we explain data with a compelling story that links to people's values and a sense of shared purpose, then things start to move..
Are you a #Science teacher involved with TY students of DEIS schools in Mayo for the 2023/24 year? We are rolling out an updated version of our SCIENCE4SURIVAL module and would love you to get involved! @edtechne@VMcC_ScienceEd
In the process of recruiting Science teachers for the second rollout of our SCIENCE4SURVIVAL module (It's not just Science! project). Team spirit makes work light and we are eager to get as many positive responses as possible @GalwayAccess@VMcC_ScienceEd@ethanhillod
Delighted to give the Keynote Lecture at #NPSE2023 in Florence on Outreach-Conscious Science Teaching to advance STEM engagement! Green theme, an unintended nod to St Patrick’s Day perhaps 😉 @edtechne @PixelFirenze @GalwayAccess
Wishing my PI @VMcC_ScienceEd the very best on presenting keynote and our conference paper “Yes, Biology is for me!”: Raising the Science Capital of Boys at the International Conference New Perspectives in Science Education @GalwayAccess@hea_irl@uniofgalway@Galway_Research
A big thanks to Dr. Meally from @Colaiste_Einde for leading our @edtechne student science teachers through a hands-on engaging demonstration seminar! Whoosh Bottles, Bouncing Bubbles, Instant Freeze, Elephant Tootpaste, Carbide Cannon... #InquiryInScience@uniofgalway

Great engagement from DEIS schools in our It's not just Science! project. Looking forward to sharing findings and learning over the next couple of weeks and months! @uniofgalway@edtechne@CoPPERNUIGalway
Congrats to the PME science teacher graduates 🎓 Class of 20-22! @uniofgalway@edtechne Outstanding Science, Physics, Chemistry and Biology teachers strolling into classrooms throughout the country and beyond. Wishing you well in the years ahead! #STEMeducation
Not your average science week - thrilled to have @Michel_Dugon aka The Bug Doctor from @uniofgalway in discussing all things Arachnid, arthropod and reptilian. Everyone loved it! Perhaps some budding zoologists in the midst
