Honoured to be invited to India in Ireland (Embassy of India, Dublin) as a guest of Ambassador Akhilesh Mishra to talk about @ctyi and the work we do with high ability students Dublin City University. Looking forward to further collaboration between Ireland and India in this field.

Congratulations to my colleague cathy on this fantastic achievement! Ziggy was with you every step of the way!

I think it is fair to say Bentley had a good day Dublin City University today with his CTYI friends and of course his Mary Immaculate College (MIC) friends Professor Niamh Stack

Impossible to visit Dublin City University campus without visiting my favourite member of CTYI…and of course Colm O'Reilly 😊

Delighted for my great friend Joe O'Hara to achieve this honour. Many years ago we had a chat about research in gifted education. 5 PhD students, 2 Masters students and multiple papers later this connection is still thriving. Onwards and upwards!

Thrilled to see my CTYI colleague Dr. Leeanne Hinch ✨🌼✨ getting this fantastic award. Well deserved and an extension of the great work with Jonathan Plucker in this area. Great news all around Dublin City University Johns Hopkins CTY

Thrilled to be listening to Dr. David J. Dowling, Ph.D. and Christine Loscher at Dublin City University leadership dinner organised by Dublin City UniversityEdTrust Such amazing work coming out of Dublin City University and CTYI Thanks for the invitation Jason Sherlock

We are back! 1,000 students starting @ctyi classes today. Busy day on campus Dublin City University

Another report and again no mention of gifted students. Given the high number of gifted students now being identified with autism and the policy within Department of Education to seemingly refer all these students to CTYI without consultation this seems like yet another backward step.

So I got the BEST ever CTYI Kris Kindle present today. A portrait of Bentley and Abby from cathy from her uncle Paul Woods. The dogs seem to love it Dublin City University

A fantastic CTYI advisory board meeting followed by an amazing Christmas lunch Dublin City University. Thanks to my amazing team for their great work Dr. Orla Dunne Dr. Leeanne Hinch ✨🌼✨ Daryl Hanberry Catriona Ledwith Professor Niamh Stack Vinay Nair Johns Hopkins CTY Gary K.

Another set of PISA results and another set of misleading headlines. If we actually want to be the 'best' at something then it might be worth looking at our 'best' students who are underachieving compared to their international counterparts. CTYI Dublin City University

Delighted to attend the launch of DCU Access in the workplace KPMG Ireland today with Jason Sherlock and Kathryn Thomas. We take students from this initiative CTYI every summer and they add a huge amount. DCU EducationalTrust #ATTW2024

It’s the last day of term CTYI for primary school classes. I thought it was appropriate to let this superstar student sign us off. Dublin City University

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas CTYI. Bentley and Abby at the top of the tree and other staff members pets also recognised Dr. Orla Dunne Hazel Skinner (she/her) Dr. Leeanne Hinch ✨🌼✨ Dublin City University

Secondary school testing @ctyi today and a very busy campus for Open Day Dublin City University. Sometimes working on Saturday isn’t too bad!

Huge congratulations to former CTYI student and 2023 CTYI Alumni award winner Sally Hayden on winning Journalist of the Year Dublin City University

Irish Times journalists recognised with 10 wins at Irish Journalism Awards irishtimes.com/media/2023/11/…

If anyone is interested in participating in this research, please contact Aoife. This is important work that needs to be highlighted.

Delighted to be here Dublin City University this morning to hear about the amazing work being done by Sinéad McNally Professor Mary Rose Sweeney Lisa Keenan on the autism friendly schools project. So many CTYI students are twice exceptional so this research is so important.

So the really excellent scoop is that CTYI have received €50,000 in funding from Erasmus+ in a project led by Lineke van Tricht to look at Equity in Gifted Education. Myself and Dr. Leeanne Hinch ✨🌼✨ will lead the initiative for Dublin City University so I think this qualifies as a good news day.
