Another happy student group. 😊
Last week @ulgeog.bsky.social welcomed Abbeyfeale's St. Mary's Natl School students. The not-so-shy students & teachers toured the lab, examined 500 ma rocks, discovered fossils in limestone & peered at foraminifera sends. Thank u to UL's Jackie Hehir for all her help organising the visit.

The more options we give as universal design for learning, the fewer accommodations we need for individual students later. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #ATchat #UDL #InclusiveEd
