Damian Burke #MICLimerick

Elsye Pierce @MarinoInstitute spoke at #STER2025 about parental engagement - talking about how important it is to build relationships between home and school.

One key takeaway from a parent - “It’s nice when you meet a teacher and it’s not just bad news you are getting”

Excellent points raised at #STER2025 by Sophie Leach based on her research at University of Galway @uniofgalway.bsky.social

- Are there still hidden costs continue to deter some students from accessing higher education.
- Do students have less knowledge about access routes than we expect?

At #STER2025, Clara Smith @marinoinstitute.bsky.social talks about the identity of ECE practitioners and the relationship between care & education.

Caring can undermine the status of practitioners and is misunderstood in relation to child development. Congratulations Clara 👏
