Thanks to our colleagues from @CTYI Cathy Woods & Meg Griffiths and our own BEd Psych student Joseph Cosgrove for their excellent research panel today on Gifted Education 👏🙌 @MICEducationFac#Inclusion

Great to see this article in today's @IrishTimes. An important area @ctyi that is often overlooked in gifted education. Well done Dylan and Malachy. @DCU
