I would love a part 2. Thanks

‘Chele Morris @drmkck.bsky.social · Jun 13

Thanks for that. FYI not clear for all Q.

‘Chele Morris @drmkck.bsky.social · Jun 13

Not clear from the blurb but am I ticking for the answers that are genuine or for the answers that are AI?

& then read the Minister’s statement. Nothing timely in the package to actually help teachers deliver their subjects. I say this as somebody teaching two Tranche 1 subjects. The disconnect between teaching them to be creative but assessing them 1 way! #edchatie www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

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

That school’s out sound. 🎵
Now just to organise all of the paperwork for the new Biology and Chemistry specifications #edchatie #teachershaveiteasy

‘Chele Morris @drmkck.bsky.social · May 27

Doesn’t help all the Science teachers who have huge H&S concerns with AAC, no storage for all the individual projects and know that 20h class contact time will be multiples of that for both teacher and student. Even more disappointed in the Department now. #edchatie

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

It may take longer then your suggested dates as they will have to talk about talking about it first. #edchatie

‘Chele Morris @drmkck.bsky.social · May 22

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

This will be useful for the new Chemistry specification #edchatie #iteachchem

This is definitely an improvement. The merit band was very cruel to students at the top end. #edchatie

The teacher unions are suggesting that students upload their work directly to the SEC & tick a box saying “this is my own work”. Any discrepancy between their AAC and their written paper grade can be clearly seen by the SEC who can decide whether to award AAC marks. This I support. #edchatie

‘Chele Morris @drmkck.bsky.social · Apr 19

You can do this!

Ideas for the accessibility portion of the new LC subject plans to be found here. #edchatie

Peps @pepsmccrea.bsky.social · Apr 6

One of the most effective ways to drive effective inclusion is to make our teaching ‘accessible by default’.

Let's dig into what that means:

Currently writing Biology and Chemistry student notes for new LC specifications with this in mind. I have a question re:fonts and colours. It was recommended for anything on screen to be a dark blue background with yellow Trebuchet font, particularly for dyslexic students. Right or wrong?

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

This might be of interest to teachers prepping for the change to LC Biology in September #edchatie
