<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Brian Mooney discussing motivation and 3rd level options outside Ireland (educationmatters.ie) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">My son
has been offered a provisional place by a Dutch university and seems to have
slacked off on his Leaving Cert study. He’s no longer worried and says he’s not
under pressure to get good grades. Is this really the case ? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">It is
ironic that your fear is being driven by his loss of anxiety over the need to
secure a high CAO points score in his Leaving Cert. I often reflect on why I
have never experienced the flashbacks that others recount of reimagining that
they are in the exam hall resitting their Leaving Cert.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">The answer
is simple: I sat the exam in 1971 prior to the surge in third level application
numbers which occurred following the introduction of free second level
education.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Securing
a place on most degree programmes on offer back then required no more than two
higher level C3 grades, a not very high bar to achieve for those interested in
pursuing an academic route after school. Most young people entered the labour
force directly from school in those times.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">How times
have changed. A majority of school leavers in <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/news"><span style="color: blue;">Ireland</span></a>
now progress to third level. Uniquely in the EU, we are one of the few
countries where attending third level is not seen as a right, based on meeting
the minimum entry requirements for our preferred course.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Programmes
such as physiotherapy and psychology – which require CAO points of 540-plus in
Irish universities – can be accessed with two H4/5s across EU universities
taught through English.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">The fear
and anxiety that drives much of what occurs after transition year in Irish
education derives mainly from a shortage of enough places in highly
sought-after programmes to meet the numbers securing the minimum entry
requirements.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">We have
meekly accepted this reality for over 40 years without question and find it
hard to believe that our EU partner countries do not operate their third level
systems on this basis.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background: #F6F6F6; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: white; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Where
your son may come unstuck in his more relaxed approach to learning is in his
perception that having a relatively modest academic target means the hard part
is now over.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Nothing
could be further from the truth. Dutch and other EU universities are ranked
among the best in the world. Attrition rates among first years on many
programmes are up to 40 per cent. The academic year is up to 40 weeks long and
continuous assessment begins during the first few weeks. Any let-up in study
can lead to a quick exit.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">Recent
history would suggest that Irish students who have taken advantage of the
places on offer in EU universities have lower failure rates that domestic
students, partly because they really appreciate the opportunity that they have
been given.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IE;">But
learning to be motivated by a real interest in one’s subject matter, rather
than gut-wrenching fear of missing out on high CAO points, is in my view a
positive development.</span></div>

1. There is no plan<br />
<i>Make decisions for fundamental, not instrumental reasons. </i><br />
<br />
2. Think strengths, not weaknesses.<br />
<i> What do you do consistently well? What gives you energy rather than drains you? </i><br />
<br />
3. It's not about you.<br />
<i> The most successful people improve their own lives by improving others' lives. </i><br />
<br />
4. Persistence trumps talent.<br />
<i>There are massive returns to doggedness. </i><br />
<br />
5. Make excellent mistakes.<br />
<i>Commit errors from which the benefits of what you've learned exceed the costs of the screw-up.</i><br />
<br />
6. Leave an imprint.<br />
<i> Recognize that your life isn't infinite and that you should use your limited time here to do something that matters. </i> <br />

even the seemingly basic tasks of reading and writing can be a real
challenge. Fortunately, thanks to modern technological advancements,
there are many assistive technologies that can make a world of
difference. These tools can be especially helpful for both students and
adults. Check out these apps for dyslexia that may provide some
much-needed assistance.<br />

Pocket: Save Stories for Later</h3>

<div class="content-list-body">
Pocket can be a great tool for students and
adults alike, giving readers a chance to use assistive technologies to
help them stay up-to-date on current events. Users who rely on the
internet for their supply of news stories can curate the articles they
wish to read using Pocket and take advantage of its text-to-speech
function, which will read the content out loud. This simple tactic helps
many users better comprehend the news of today. Pocket doesn't have to
be limited to just news articles either; it can be used for a wide range
of reading material, from how-to and Do-It-Yourself articles to even
entertainment articles. While in school, programs like Kurzweil can help
with set textbooks and worksheets, but news and features articles often
aren't readable by common learning assistance programs. This app can be
great even for users who don't have dyslexia. As a bonus, the Pocket
developers are typically responsive and willing to look into and fix
user problems. And another bonus: Pocket is a free app.

<div class="content-list-body">
In school and college, teachers and
professors often use workbooks and photocopies of texts, and sometimes
even use original texts and worksheets that must be completed by hand.
However, for many people with dyslexia, it can be hard to write down
their responses. Fortunately, an app called SnapType Pro is here to
help. The program lets users overlay text boxes onto photos of
worksheets and original texts, which in turn, allows the user to take
advantage of a keyboard or even voice-to-text capabilities to input
their answers. SnapType offers both a free abbreviated version, and the
full SnapType Pro version for $4.99 on iTunes.

notes can be a challenge. However, Mental Note takes note-taking to the
next level, creating a multi-sensory experience for users. Students can
create custom notes using text (either typed or dictated), audio,
images, photos, and more. The app syncs with Dropbox, offers tags to
organize the notes, and even gives users the chance to add a password to
their accounts to protect their work. Mental note offers both a free
Mental Note Lite option, and the full Mental Note version for $3.99 on
iTunes.

Looking for an easy way to create an awesome
video or great presentation? Adobe Voice is great for animated videos
and as an alternative to the traditional slide show. When creating a
presentation, this app lets users include written text within the
presentation, but also uses voice narration and images within the
slides. Once the user creates the slide series, the app turns it into an
animated video, which can even include background music. As a bonus,
this app is free on iTunes!

Even though this is actually an online

useful tool when writing papers. It makes adding references to your
papers a simple and stress-free task by walking you through the process.
It gives you the option of three writing styles (APA, MLA, and
Chicago), and lets you choose from either print or online sources,
giving you six options for citing information. Then, it gives you text
boxes to complete with the necessary information to create footnotes
and/or a bibliography reference list at the end of your document. As a
bonus, this service is free.

CAO Guide for Parents</h2>
The <a class="encyclopedia" href="http://careersnews.ie/encyclopedia/cao/" target="_self" title="Central Applications Office - The Central Applications Office processes applications for undergraduate courses in Irish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Decisions on admissions to undergraduate courses are made by the HEIs who instruct CAO to make offers to successful candidates. Click here for CAO site ... Click here for CAO courses ... ">CAO</a>
application can be a daunting experience for both parents and students
alike, but it doesn’t have to be this way. As parents, we must remember
that the<a data-caption="" href="http://careersnews.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/School-Days.gif"><img alt="School Days" class="alignright wp-image-6424" height="76" src="http://careersnews.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/School-Days.gif" width="140" /></a><span id="more-33548"></span> student is the most important person in all of this discussion. Choosing a good study path requires a lot of time and patience.<br />
Completing the application at this time serves two functions: it
completes the registration process and gives students time to focus,
knowing that there will be plenty of opportunity to revisit the
application in the months ahead.<br />
Choosing the wrong course is one of the major factors which leads to
student drop-out at college. Each year, I meet a lot of these students
attending colleges nationwide who are disillusioned and find that
college just doesn’t meet their expectations, leading to unhappiness and
a sense of failure. This can be difficult for parents and the family as
a whole to deal with.<br />
