Girls are doing worse at maths than boys due in part to limited subject offerings. It'd be interesting to see the difference between girls from all girls schools vs mixed. #EducationReform #GirlsInSTEM #MathsEducation #GenderEqualityInEducation shorturl.at/hvC49

Currently reading 'The Road to Character'; reflecting on how new SPHE curriculum promotes empathy. Hoping it guides young away from individualism, shifting focus to character development for a more grounded view of life. #CharacterBuilding #SPHE #EducationReform @nytdavidbrooks

Transition Year parents: fostering a growth mindset in your teen is key. Remember, 50 failed job applications are 50 opportunities to learn. The skill of job searching is invaluable for their future. DON'T APPLY ON THEIR BEHALF #ParentingTips #GrowthMindset #transitionyear

“We must educate our young children in the practice of compassion on a worldwide scale. Teachers and parents can instil in children real, warmhearted human values to tremendous benefit. We need a transformation in commitment to the universal values of compassion and love.”

I was at an event on Thursday speaking to people working in the arts/entertainment industry. They're so passionate about what they do and with good reason - I was reminded how nourishing going to the theatre can be. Next date night idea sorted! @ticketsolvers @projectarts

Gave a school talk to TY students in @CBSSyngeStreet earlier. Great mix of lads with interests ranging from @davidgoggins to Ikigai. I'd say their SPHE classes are fun...
