Would you like to know how preservice teachers can improve their readiness for parent engagement during their field experience? Register for our Feb 18 webinar with Dr. Sandra Ryan @sandra-ryan.bsky.social who will speak about how it's done in Ireland tinyurl.com/3d5rhu5e @centcs.bsky.social

ATEE 2025 ready to kick off here in Marino Institute of Education

"The world is now sickened and absolutely disgusted with the level of bombing and starvation that is ongoing in Gaza." Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that "the weaponisation of aid is a war crime" and that allowing only five aid trucks into Gaza "is a sick joke."

#Gaza: The U.S.-Israel plan to control the distribution of supplies under the guise of humanitarian assistance raises grave ethical, security and legal concerns. Doctors Without Borders call on Israeli authorities to uphold International Humanitarian Law. Share if you do too.

Israel has said it rejects the European Union’s decision to review its trade and cooperation agreement, as its siege of the Gaza Strip in Palestine continues. http://jrnl.ie/6710278

Israel 'completely rejects' EU's decision to review trade and cooperation agreement

Israel said 93 trucks had entered Gaza on Tuesday but the UN said the aid had been held up.

#Gaza: At least 33 people were killed and dozens injured, according to the Ministry of Health, after airstrikes hit Gaza City today, just metres from an MSF clinic. Our teams stabilised 28 patients, who were transferred to Al-Shifa hospital. Two MSF staff members were injured.

For 80 years from 1871 to 1951, St. Joseph's Industrial School in Artane, Dublin, had at least 222 deaths of boys aged 7-16 years. Those names have not been made public up to this point. That changes now. You can view the names that Project Infant found here: projectinfant.ie/the-homes/ar...

“No government – regardless of which party is in power – should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber (Harvard President) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump officials cut billions in Harvard funds after university defies demands

Education department says $2.3bn in funds to be frozen after university rejects slew of demands as political ploy

What I love about what Harvard is doing is that it’s A. Right. B. Leading for all others because it can, and therefore must. C. In its longterm interest too. It must be one hell of an internal reorganisation of funding, investment etc. to do this well. And I imagine a massive fundraising push.

“Water is also being used as a weapon of war. In early March, a week after stopping any food…from getting into Gaza, Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza’s main operational desalination plant. The situation now could not be more desperate. ‘Gaza is a killing field’.”

Gaza is a ‘killing field’ where people are being starved. How long will the world tolerate this? | Arwa Mahdawi

What is happening is, quite simply, annihilation. Yet our politicians keep funding it and media outlets normalize it

Great to see spine-stiffening example of @harvard.edu; refusal to bow to Trump's demands for staggering federal interference. Others following suit. Assault on universities = * assault on public purpose of education * on freedom of thought * on life-saving research www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
