I have just come off the phone with someone from @sseairtricity about renewing our contract…. Wow how rude he was!

Good dicussion of ECEC @TodaywithClaire but stop using the term childcare worker. It is demeaning and does not signify the complexity or importance of working with children in their most formstive years. There is a retention crisis. Pay matters as does respect for the profession

📢 I am doing my doctoral research in @DCU and I want to talk to teachers in their 2nd or 3rd year working in DEIS Band-1 primary schools. If this sounds like you, your experiences & insights would be invaluable 🙌 Please repost. Thank you. 😊

AIM is a positive step in ECEC but some children need more than currently available & having lobbied, @DeptCDE are just ignoring these children's needs & children that are pre ECCE. If gov talks inclusion they need to support it meaningfully @NormaFoleyTD1

#UDL is more than guidelines—it's about designing for all learners. Dive into the UDL 101 series to explore key nuances.
