🚀 In the last few months, I’ve built 3 time-saving apps for schools:
🟩 Yard Duty Timetable Generator
📅 School Calendar Creator
🔁 RotaMate – rota tool for staff & shared spaces

If you have any other ideas for something useful for a school, let me know

As the gushing tributes pour in, rememver that the Catholic Church still owes its Irish victims millions for the sexual, physical and psychological abuse and torture they suffered at the hands of its clergy, and neither Francis nor any other pope has ever done anything to help them.

Happy #IWD2025 to all my wonderful feminist friends and colleagues, to women and girls everywhere. It does seem a darkly misogynistic time of backlash these days, but, like our foremothers, we fight on - la lucha continua #feminism #speirgorm

Every single year.

How many kids and parents are going to have to go through this every year.

This got lost in the busyness a bit.

Share those resources, ideas, articles etc and I'll collate tomorrow.

#Edchatie #EdShareie
10 minutes left to go on a chat we could have for weeks.

Let's finish the hour on a high.

Share a resource, idea, blog, article, page to follow that helps support additional needs.

Add the hashtags #Edchatie #EdShareie and I'll pull them all together in a padlet tomorrow and share.

100% agree and the complete lack of respect and condescending attitude by a SENO at a recent meeting was extremely disappointing. #edchatie

“The children with the greatest level of need get the greatest level of support.” That’s support AS WELL as whole class instruction, not instead of. #EdChatIE

Couldn’t agree more Dee @playfulclassroom.bsky.social
So important children are supported at whole class level to begin with. Also really important that any Tier 2 or 3 intervention mirrors classroom instruction and happens in addition to rather than in place of classroom instruction

I think this is important to reflect on. Sometimes we concentrate too much on intervention when we really need to look at whole class instruction. Would love to hear others thoughts!

I have adjusted the Continuum of Support graphic to reflect the research into Mutli-Tiered Support Systems (MTSS). A very well known quote in this field is “You can’t intervene your way out of a Tier 1 problem.”

Oh I absolutely love this, an excellent exercise to undertake and credit to your staff for investing so much of themselves in it too. Reaps dividends. It is heartbreaking when I ask children who they can turn to for help in the school and they shrug or say ‘nobody gets me’. #EdChatIE

Can I introduce the Coventry Grid on Autism vs Attachment Problems? So many of our children have adverse experiences & sometimes that can be mistaken for Autism (can co-occur) but it can be so helpful to reflect more when wondering what’s going on? #EdChatIE

The students are obviously on a spectrum and come with varying strengths and needs. It has brought us new families and siblings from those families in mainstream also. I've been really impressed with how the staff work with the students in our special classes also. #edchatie

I'm with you Brian. It's a joy ♥️
Evening, everyone. Late to the discussion this evening. Brian, secondary principal, Cork. As a school that opened special classes for Autistic students only in recent years, it's been one of the best things I've been involved in, and I think it's bern great for the school. #edchatie

Fully agree the SENCO role should be recognised - for all the reasons you’ve outlined and also for ease of working with SEN teams and Student Support Teams in PP - someone has to be a point of contact for the likes of me etc to undertake work and plan interventions etc. they are established in NI.

Such a fascinating #edchatIE tonight - choosing to read more than type but learning so much. A question … how are schools sharing best practice in this area or are schools generally left in isolation?

Education centers are beginning to implement communities of best practice. I think they're an untapped resource. #edchatie

Big challenge I've found is the responsiveness of the DoE in terms of resources and the NCSE. Though things are improving with both. But getting responses to queries has taken too long. Better teacher training is also required, especially in the area of behaviours of concern. #edchatie
