Morning, does anyone know of companies that specialise in the refurb of science labs? We need to get someone on site fairly quickly to do a survey and report for us as part of summer works application. TIA #edchatie

Summer reading and relevance to teaching the electrochemistry portion of the new Chemistry specification. No rest for the wicked. #edchatie #lcreform

Would anybody have a pdf for the attached image? We want it for planning new LC specifications. ResearchGate are slow to approve me (going into months waiting) as my academic research is all in my maiden name. I haven’t been able to source it anywhere else. Thanks in advance. #edchatie #AEN #SEND

I hope everyone has read Section 5 and Section 6 that the unions are voting on with the lens of “will this help me deliver the new Senior Cycle specification?”. Talk so some Tranche 1 teachers about the “quality” of their experiences so far. I am voting “no”. #edchatie

Busy week: #Oide collaboratives in #ITeachChem and #ITeachBio, back stage for school musical, Form 6 Biologists doing a 2nd mock and Form 1 Parent teacher evening. I really don’t need to see my kids! #edchatie

Finally got around to watching @trythisteaching.bsky.social webinar on Adaptive Teaching; Low Effort, High Impact T&L Ideas to support students. Going to try do better with my word banks and use “so that”, refine my visuals and ditch focus on neatness. #edusky #iteachchem #iteachbio

Super day at the @irishsciteach.bsky.social annual conference. Great to see some of the textbooks in the flesh, listen to lots of great discussions and ideas and have chats with other science teachers. Well done to the Kildare branch on a super programme. #edchatie #ISTA25

(1/2) A Sunday morning scroll while listening to Morgan Wallen and this line from his new song reasonates “Knowin' I'm a little crazy, but the world's insane” - from respected journals towing the non-sensical American line to non-medical doctors running vaccine research to just the pure lack of

Am I the only one to see the irony of an Irishman in a foreign country, on the day the Irish worldwide celebrate a foreigner’s achievements in Ireland, talking negatively about foreigners in a country built by foreigners?

Took our first year’s to see the #MuseumoftheMoon at St. Canice’s Cathedral. It was lots of fun getting them to find the names of the craters and finding the landing site. Plus it looked amazing. #ES4 #JCScience

Too cloudy in the “sunny” South-East of Ireland to see the #lunareclipse for #ES4 in #JCScience 😢

It’s been a busy week so far. Had Cluster Day 2 for Biology and we had an excellent presenter. We have 7 Biology teachers in school but can only go to Oide sessions 2 at a time. Still no closer to making teaching sequence decisions but feeling better about it all. #edchatie #lcrefrom

Looking forward to getting my hands on this at the end of the month. Liked the idea of thematic approach (before I had an Oide days) and the types questioning. #edchatie
