Much appreciated! For me, after #STER2025, I am wondering about ways we can support teachers in sharing their research. And how I specifically can help policymakers and other education stakeholders "see" and "use" that research and teacher expertise?

Finishing the conference Carol Ní Cheallaigh spoke passionately at #STER2025 about supporting teacher professional development in Maths education, particularly focusing on CCT. Tough questions about accessibility, responsibility and agency raised in the discussion! Maith thú Carol

Fascinating presentation by Dean & Rachel about co-teaching / team teaching at second level #STER2025 @uniofgalway.bsky.social Scheduled planning & Relationships / trust are key indicators of successful team teaching! Well done 👍

Georgia Goodall @dcuioe.bsky.social spoke at #STER2025 about supporting deaf students access to music education! Linking with the STER theme, she spoke of how building relationships can act as an enabler to allowing deaf students access to music education. Well done Georgia 💪

Damian Burke #MICLimerick talks at #STER2025 about his reflective research on using play based and active teaching! It’s important to make sport as fun and inclusive as possible by using a thematic approach which also helps children to link PE to other subjects 👏

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

At #STER2025 Glenn Timoney from University of Galway @uniofgalway.bsky.social spoke of how having an additional adult in a classroom can help build relationships between student and teachers e.g. students found they were heard more.. had more contact time and more attention

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Elsye Pierce @MarinoInstitute spoke at #STER2025 about parental engagement - talking about how important it is to build relationships between home and school. One key takeaway from a parent - “It’s nice when you meet a teacher and it’s not just bad news you are getting”

020

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

Excellent points raised at #STER2025 by Sophie Leach based on her research at University of Galway @uniofgalway.bsky.social - Are there still hidden costs continue to deter some students from accessing higher education. - Do students have less knowledge about access routes than we expect?

020

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

At #STER2025, Clara Smith @marinoinstitute.bsky.social talks about the identity of ECE practitioners and the relationship between care & education. Caring can undermine the status of practitioners and is misunderstood in relation to child development. Congratulations Clara 👏

Fabulous keynote #STER2025 by Dr Dane Stickney of University of Colorado Denver. @danestickney.bsky.social spoke about the importance of engaging students in participatory research & driving change. ✅ What are the questions driving you now? ✅ What are you doing about it?

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

At #STER2025 Kate & Aideen spoke eloquently about the experience of team teaching. There are clear benefits for students but also recommendations for supporting co-teaching. Thanks to lecturer Mary Kelly for supporting this research 👏
