    As more and more people jump ship from X/Twitter, I've set up a new @bluesky account: bsky.app/profile/patjbu… Great to see so many familiar #edchatie faces there. I'm also on Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/patrick-bur… And Instagram!: instagram.com/patrickjburke/ See you elsewhere!

    I passed many schools in rural Galway/Roscommon on the road today (Saturday). Nearly every building had multiple cars outside. If there are problems as schools reopen in the next few weeks, it won’t be due to a lack of effort from principals/teachers/BOM members. #edchatie

    A few days on and it is still hard to believe ... the PhD is done and dusted! Thanks to my wonderful supervisor Dr Eithne Kennedy and to the brilliant team of examiners -Dr Bernadette Dwyer, Prof Kathy Hall & Prof Jacy Ippolito - chaired by Dr James Lovatt. ☀️👋📗💻 @DCU_IoE @DCU

    A bright and cheerful morning on the @DCU Glasnevin campus as I drop off thesis hard copies. I hope to ditch the jeans for a hat and robes on the next visit! 🎓@DCU_IoE_PGSR @DCU_LLECE @DCUGradStudies

    On #WorldTeachersDay, it might be a good time to think about the 'big' findings from two recent @NCCAie reports. What do they say in a nutshell? Teaching is very complex. @paula_lehane and I did our very best, but even 500+ pages just scratch the surface. #edchatie (1/n)

    The curriculum on the left lasted for nearly 30 years, the one in the middle for more than 20. The new framework on the right is now up for consultation. Speak now or forever hold your peace (... for a decade or two anyway...) @NCCAie #primarydevelopments #edchatie

    Integration, Pedagogy and Assessment (IPA) are the DNA of learning and teaching! Two ground-breaking reports, authored by @lehane_paula & @patjburke, explore IPA in practice and the implications for child and teacher agency. Read the reports here: bit.ly/4529Iqf

    Attention primary school teachers! Is there an aspect of your literacy teaching that you'd like help with? Wondering how to teach a particular piece of the Primary Language Curriculum? Interested to know what the research says on a particular literacy difficulty? (1/6) #edchatie

    Thank you to @42rodgers and all on the @AERAReading review panel for presenting me with this award at #AERA24. The research wouldn't have happened without the help of many children, teachers and colleagues (+ my @DCU_IoE supervisor, Dr Eithne Kennedy). Míle buíochas libh! @DCU

    Having just returned from a big US literacy conference, it is interesting to see reaction to this @IrishTimes piece. We can learn a lot for our future direction in Ireland by learning from (+avoiding) some of what is happening elsewhere. #edchatie (1/n)
