This is hard to do without the context of how it was taught in class. It's easier to spot something AI when you know you hadn't described it that way in the first place.

Some times it's the smallest of things, I forgot I'd packed left over cake last night. Now that I've finished marking my A-level course work, I can really enjoy it with my coffee.

Here's what some members who were recently awarded the Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice said about the course.

"It was very informative, and it allowed me to reflect on what I know about cognitive science and do some further research on the topic."

"The learning experience of using research to inform my practice is having such impact!"

"I found the course to be really informative, personalised because you could choose a focus, enjoyable and useful in my school practice - I would definitely recommend!"

Yep! Lefty here (I'd do a waving emoji, but it's right handed 🙂)

Donegal does not disappoint! Lovely to get away for a few days during midterm to recharge the batteries.

I said goodbye and good luck to a fantastic PGCE student teacher after her first placement with us. We really need to hold on to these bright new talents in the long term. Teacher retention needs to be seriously addressed.

I've finally done it - deactivated and uninstalled X. Took ages to decide, but enough is enough.

As an adult, it's a continuous frustration yet with a bit of thought a lot of the difficulties can be easily over come. I always watch out for my leftie students, I know their pain in a right handed world!

I've just finished this fabulous book! It's so enlightening and infuriating at the same time! I didn't realise how infrequently women were thought of or even considered. @womenednireland.bsky.social
