Getting maths curriculum right ‘needs wisdom of the entire system’
Interesting! One clear message here is the the current Outcomes technical framework is on its way out. Good! It was always the weakest aspect of CfE

Getting maths curriculum right ‘needs wisdom of the entire system’
The ‘vagueness’ of the current maths curriculum must be addressed, says the Scottish government’s specialist adviser - but he has no plans for ‘sweeping’ changes to content

Norma is heavily involved in the coalition talks, that would make me think she can choose her portfolio, I pray she has ambitions beyond ruining education and will move on to ruining something more high profile like justice or finance (don’t wish her to get finance - that would ruin everyone)!

I was told this week that this is ‘redevelopment’ not reform.
Still no clearer on AACs.
It seems very late in the day for this all to be happening.
When will the big reveal be?

Watch: What is going on with Leaving Cert reform?
Many Transition Year and 3rd year students will have returned to school for the new term wondering what is happening with senior cycle reform, and what the proposed changes will mean for them.

1/5 Today’s fiscal monitor show the final Exchequer returns for 2024. There are two key takeaways from the figures: 1) underlying revenue remains very strong; 2) spending is increasing at a rapid pace leading to large overruns.

An excellent piece that could be used to introduce fixed, variable costs and economies of scale in #lceconomics. Just as true in Ireland, 85% in this south Dublin car park today are a shade of black or grey/silver (included my silver car), 10% red and 5% blue

Having relatively recently introduced the new economics spec & face business starting next year, I feel the CPD provided ahead of introduction & at the early stages leaves a lot to be desired. The SEC & PDST (Oide) should be involved at a much earlier stage with the NCCA. Teachers #edchatie 1/3
