Are schools finding a deterioration in pupil behaviour? Would be interesting to hear from teachers what they believe the causes are and possibly what they have tried to improve behaviour? #edchatie #education
A terrible tragedy. Thoughts are with Aishling Murphy’s family, her colleagues, the pupils of her school and the community of Tullamore at this awful time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
Thank you for the many replies to earlier tweet. Unsurprising that many teachers feel let down by @Education_Ire 1/2
Disappointing to read that many feel they have not been consulted by their BOMs or Mgt teams. However, as @RodsMears rightly suggested, principals and mgt teams will need their staff behind them this coming month. They are surely just as worried about the days ahead. 2/2

The last thing we need is uneccesary rifts opening up in school communities. Each and every member can write an email or pick up a phone to their respective union, patron and TD. We are all in this together.
Teachers: Have you been consulted by the @Education_Ire, principals or BOM on your thoughts for a safe return? As many also teach full time, is it not essential to hear from those actually in the classroom who have to deal with the daily fallout from staff shortages? 1/2
The feedback on masks from new DE guidelines seems to be littered with confusion, frustration and sheer disappointment and a lack of leadership from the Department. Do you agree with these sentiments?

With many leadership vacancies in country now, what role does the senior leadership team have in supporting those who are unsuccessful in an application/interview? Or is it simply a case of 'the winner takes it all' so suck it up and move on? #edchatie #Wellbeing #education

Are you a primary teacher with an AP post? This questionnaire will be of interest @APIreland

Hope school leaders get to take a break this weekend. School leaders often spend so much of their energy looking after others, they sometimes forget to look after themselves. #edchatie #leadership #school

Very, very relieved that an Assistant Principal took on the task of checking the RTW forms today and chasing anyone who missed the deadline. Teamwork makes the dream work!
***Reminder to anyone who works in a school: Do your RTW form now!!

In light of the latest negativity surrounding teachers on social media, how damaging do you think this will be to the future of the profession? How do we as school leaders maintain a vision for sustainable leadership in these challenging times? #edchatie #leadership #education
