🚨 Please read this highly important contribution from ERC researchers on DEIS & Reading Recovery. They note that ‘the absence of any high-quality evaluations on the literacy outcomes targeted by RR in Ireland is noteworthy’ amongst others findings. tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Timely & valuable work from Lorraine Gilleece & Aidan Clerkin on the necessity for robust critical review of interventions used in DEIS schools. Great to see research specific to the Irish context relevant to this global conversation💬✍️💭🔍📚 tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10… ERC

🧵 An important paper for all involved in education in Ireland by Gilleece & Clerkin. tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Superb paper in Irish Educational Studies from Lorraine Gilleece and Aidan Clerkin. Towards more robust evaluation of policies and programmes in education: identifying challenges in evaluating DEIS and Reading Recovery tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… I couldn't put it down! Irish Educational Studies (IES)

A brilliant contribution to our consideration of evidence-informed policy in Ireland. We need a variety of methodologies to advance and evaluate practice in schools, but there is currently a distinct lack of thorough (quasi-)experimental research. #edchatie

Four different perspectives on the DEIS programme from the final session at #ESAI24. Hopefully research like this will influence the future refinement of supports for children, teachers and schools. Aidan Clerkin Lorraine Gilleece Ruth Bourke ESAI ERC

The balance of evidence suggests we need to pause & review. Nothing should be predetermined in such a review. (Some would go further at this point, I know.) Lorraine Gilleece and Aidan Clerkin set out a roadmap for what we need to evaluate & why. #5 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Happy to be invited to discuss education in Ireland with João Marôco at the #EDULOG “Effectiveness & Equity in Education” conference in Porto. Day 1 was full of useful insights & exchanges - looking forward to hearing from Harry A. Patrinos & co. on Day 2 evento.edulog.pt ERC

Here is Isabel Leite summing up the highlights of our #EDULOG panel discussion, with lessons from Portugal, Ireland, Estonia and Sweden

Gracias a Montserrat Tortosa, Jordi Serarols y a todos en Educació por la invitación a visitar y por las discusiones tan productivas. (And, in another example of “it’s a small world”, it was a nice surprise to also bump into Darina Scully on the plane!)
