Welcome to the Plus One Teaching project - stories of innovative educators, for educators!

Plus One is a project to showcase innovative educators and provide inspiration and ideas to other educators.

Plus One is a concept in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) that simply says - just make one positive change at a time to improve your teaching.

Born out of my own experiences over the past few years as I have been fortunate to be exposed to many amazing teachers, coaches and educators of all types, this project will incorporate a podcast and a book where I will share stories of amazing teachers, with an emphasis on transferable skills, ideas and applications which we can all try and implement into our own teaching practice.

"A goal is simply a dream taken seriously" - Dr. Alan Barnard

My goal here was to explore, learn and hopefully provide some inspiration to other educators.  Enjoy!

This project is supported by a Fellowship from the University College Dublin Innovation Academy, funded through the HCI / Convene programme 2021.

The Plus One Podcast

Discussions with amazing educators from Ireland and further afield, in all different types of education - University, college, schools, prisons - it's amazing what we can all learn from each other when we start to share our stories, ideas and tips!

Their approaches and projects will be showcased so we can all benefit from their insights, and we'll try to bring out some actionable tips which other educators can take and apply in their own teaching practice.
