Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Some really interesting perspectives on choosing ‘read-alikes’ and not relying on texts that we’ve always used or are more familiar to us.

Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 03/03/2025Some lovely examples of different types of questions and prompts to use during shared reading to enhance comprehension and language 😍. The acronyms would be helpful for planning our read alouds 📚 @alinulty.bsky.social #edchatie 221

Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 14/01/2025It definitely is a barrier, for sure. There are limited options for primary school teachers, considering that the overwhelming majority of schools in Ireland are denominational. However, it is one of *many* barriers that exist in this area. 010
Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 13/01/2025The curriculum isn’t hugely prescriptive and can be adapted to meet the needs and interests of the children #edchatie 030

Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Great read, Simon. I agree with you on your take re Religion and choice of school. I’ve *started* to see an increase in recent months on webinars in this space. The INTO have a ‘Fostering Inclusivity’ webinar series soon, with ‘anti-racism’, ‘supporting religious minorities’ and others. #edchatie 230

Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I fell victim to this a few years back, returning from teaching abroad. It takes *a lot* of time, effort and money. Also, applying for incremental credit is another hoop to jump through to be on the pay point that you’re entitled to. #edchatie 240
Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Very true, John. I think it’s easy to reduce this issue to that of religion or Irish as the barriers, but there’s more to it. There definitely are barriers there, for sure. However the Irish language isn’t a requirement to be a secondary school teacher and yet, we still have limited diversity. 020

Rebecca Broderick @rebeccabroderick.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Rebecca here 👋 a primary school teacher and current teacher fellow in DCU. With this #edchatie topic, I think diversity in teaching needs to be considered. Diversity in Ireland isn’t new. However, our teachers are a largely homogeneous group. How can we do more to encourage more diversity in ITE? 4131
