Learning Me

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek- so why not take a quick breather and join us for a short #MindfulnessMinute? A moment of calm- be it at home or into a busy school day- is one of the most effective ways to support emotional regulation for pupils, parents and staff alike.

Research shows that children who walk to school arrive more "ready to learn" than those who are driven- just 20 minutes of physical activity before school can increase a child’s concentration levels for up to 4 hours afterwards!

Our educators don't stop being the backbone of our society when #TeacherAppreciationWeek ends, and our support shouldn't either. We at Learning Me see you, we understand the work you put in behind the scenes, and we appreciate you- today, tomorrow, and every day of the year!

It was a privilege to work with a staff so dedicated to finding new ways to support their pupils and manage their workload. Thank you to the leadership and staff at St. Eugene’s for such a vibrant, forward-thinking session. The future of learning is in great hands! 🚀

We had a fantastic day in Strabane delivering an AI in Education Staff Development Session at St Eugene's PS, Victoria Bridge! From the second we walked through the doors, the warmth of the welcome was second to none!

@DeputyGrocott The data backs you up! A study by the Brigham Young University found that when teachers increased their praise-to-reprimand ratio, student on-task behaviour improved by up to 30%. It’s the simplest "low-tech" tool for a thriving classroom. We at Learning Me appreciate you!

The power of praise in a classroom cannot be underestimated. It doesn’t take much. Even at the end of a lesson simply saying ‘I thought you all did a great job today’ makes such a difference to the children.

@Education_NI With 76% of teachers already using AI to manage workloads, this £10.7m investment is a vital boost for professional sustainability. AI can be a brilliant co-pilot (even if the human touch is irreplaceable)- very interested to see how this development influences classrooms.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT | Education Minister Paul Givan has announced the roll out of generative AI tools, alongside training and guidance to support their safe and effective use by teachers. 🔗 Find out more: education-ni.gov.uk/news/givan-ann…

@StBarnabasSch Excellent to get out for a bit of outdoor learning this time of year!

@SMA_Year2 Looks like a wonderful, vibrant session of shared learning!

#AutismAcceptanceMonth is drawing to a close!♾️ Acceptance means more than just knowing autism exists: it means accessible classrooms, inclusive workplaces, and listening to autistic voices. Let’s build a world where everyone can thrive as their authentic selves!

New data from DCU and St Mary’s (via BBC, 21 April) reveals a crisis in NI education: 91% of teachers report burnout, with 46% considering leaving the profession. #EducationNI #TeacherBurnout

A great recent session delivering our ‘Me & You: Showing Resilience Too!’ programme! By blending emotional literacy with digital tools, pupils are turning mistakes into visual strategies for moving forward. Purposeful, tech-enabled learning in action! #EdTech #NIEd #LearningMe

@BBCNewsNI A truly sobering figure; to protect the quality of our classrooms, it is vital that the Department of Education prioritises structural reform and sustainable support over temporary resilience measures.

New research shows 91% of teachers in Northern Ireland are experiencing work-related burnout. bbc.in/4mMNvHg

@CTKPrimaryCov A very important environmental issue indeed- well done Year 3!
