Our dog has listened to me deliver online evening and weekend lectures in politics and sociology for two years now. He could register with the Teaching Council to teach PolSoc at this stage.

First post here 👋🏽 Closed our account in the other place when "he who shall not be named" took over. Looking forward to getting back and engaging with other #PolSoc teachers and #edchatie folks and anyone else with an interest in Politics & Society

Schools again!

What else would you like us to do that parents should be doing?

'Compulsory viewing' in my my PolSoc and CSPE classes this week: current data on homelessness, childhood poverty, school places for children with autism, housing and staff shortages in health & education. #Citizenship

My 6thyr PolSoc students were buzzing today at being able to vote for the first time. Was so brilliant to hear them discussing quotas, surpluses, vote transfers and potential coalition partners. They might only be 18 but they have a lot of political knowledge, interest and engagement. #ge24

There’s probably other stuff, but I’ve only done my first Demon Dom, an hour ago, so still learning. I promise I won’t be mad at your critiques (but like my polsoc teacher said, a critique is a negative and positive)

And of course if you want my normal tf/reality warp. You can also say so~

That's a wrap in #KildareNorth

Our Leaving Cert #PolSoc students might bump into one or two of you when we visit Leinster House in two weeks' time. 😉

Congratulations to Conor! I'm not sure if he has migrated to Bluesky yet. I am looking forward to reading his research. I'm sure other PolSoc and CSPE teachers will be, too.
Congratulations to Conor Reale on the successful defence of his Doctoral thesis - a phenomenological exploration of Political Science teachers civic identity. A truly fantastic achievement & a really interesting study. #educationalresearch #edchatie

Just finished piloting a unit of learning with a 5th Year Politics & Society class titled 'Understanding Youth Participation.'

It's being designed by WWGS www.worldwiseschools.ie and should be ready in time for the 2025-26 school year.

I thoroughly recommend it to all teachers of #PolSoc
