Was an energising day of discussion about how we can balance validity, security and equity in assessment, and give inclusion an equal footing in our discussions about assessment design.

What a spectacular showcase of teachers, students & ETBs doing what they do best- creating environments that enable all students to flourish. Thanks to schools, @ETBI & all who made the event a success. Delighted to see so many partners in education. Credit to the village 🙌

A pleasure to host Asst. Prof Jean Reale (MIC) tonight on ATUs Pg Cert in UDL. Jean got everyone to consider their inclusive teaching philosophy. Many great take aways but the word 'identify' stood out; identify good practice, identify your values and ethos to 'let people learn.'

Thanks are due to many, but especially to Carrie Conaway Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) and Fulbright Ireland for the opportunity, as well as Prof. Catherine Snow Becca Lowenhaupt Boston College Lynch School Irish Studies at Boston College!

Did you miss proposal deadline for the #UDL International Symposium? So did I - but don't tell my committee 😉 In response to requests we have extended the deadline until April 26. Registration opens soon. maynoothuniversity.ie/education/udl-…

Embracing equity. Declan Treanor, Trinity College Dublin says we need to be talking about belonging rather than inclusion. His book asks 'Why did it take a pandemic to reasonably accommodate everyone?' but today's talk asks why we have slipped backwards.

‘Inclusion is never done’ - inspiring words from the fabulous Johanna Fitzgerald here in Portlaoise at the Provision Mapping Showcase ETBI Faculty of Education, Mary Immaculate College.
