My First Podcast

This episode breaks down a structured Leaving Cert lesson teaching pasado indefinido that starts with active recall, uses differentiation to stretch every learner, and builds toward peer and self-assessment with clear success criteria. It also covers how a rapid exit ticket and simple feedback loops keep instruction responsive from one class to the next.

In this episode, we explore how academic excellence and student wellbeing can work hand in hand, with a focus on creating a safe classroom culture where mistakes become part of learning. We also discuss teaching across Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert, using differentiation, formative assessment, and extracurriculars to support confidence and community.
