I was delighted to welcome @barbaramul.bsky.social from @educationtrex.bsky.social to MIE this week to speak with all of our final year students! It’s important that they are familiar with all the ways to stay active as teacher researchers after graduation @marinoinstitute.bsky.social

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?

STER @sterireland.bsky.social · Jun 16

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?

Spread the Bluesky love 🦋

Lots of people saying that they get less interaction here than the ☠️ app.

If we want Bluesky to thrive and grow then we need to make it worth people’s while.

Tap 🩷, repost, quote post and comment.

It’s social media so we need to be more sociable 😊

In 2023, colleagues at Zurich Uni of Teacher Education & I won a Teaching Award to establish #STER in Switzerland.

The project called ‘PHorum’ recently hosted its 1st conference with 50+ participants 🎉 I’m proud to have inspired this work & look forward to seeing this great team drive it forward!
