MIC to collaborate on Conference aimed at Newly Qualified Teachers in Irish Language Schools
In partnership with An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta (COGG), Mary Immaculate College (MIC) will host a conference on 28 September for newly qualified teachers (NQTs) who are starting to work in Gaelscoileanna, Gaelcholáistí and primary and post-primary Gaeltacht schools.
Taking place at the MIC Limerick campus, this conference aims to bring together newly qualified primary and post-primary teachers and give them the opportunity to learn from speakers, practitioners and teachers in an immersion setting in schools, and to learn about the tasks they have in relation to Droichead and others.
Jacqueline Ní Fhearghusa, Chief Executive Officer COGG said: “COGG greatly welcomes holding a conference for Newly Qualified Teachers in collaboration with MIC. It will provide excellent opportunities for NQTs in primary and post-primary schools, to collaborate, listen to expert speakers and practitioners in the field and learn about best practices in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools. More importantly, it is important that NQTs feel that they are supported and advised as they begin their professional journey in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools. We wish every success to teachers and everyone involved in the conference.”
Speaking on the conference Acting Dean of Education at MIC, Dr Angela Canny added:
“MIC is delighted to be hosting a conference in collaboration with COGG to support the professional learning opportunities of Newly Qualified Teachers in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools. We acknowledge the importance of supporting teachers through the Droichead process and providing a platform for shared learning to promote best practices in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools. We are looking forward to welcoming NQTs and representatives from COGG to MIC and wish to thank COGG for their contributions to this exciting and encouraging conference in the Irish-medium and Gaeltacht education sector.”
The organising committee includes Dr Róisín Ní Mhulláin and Toirdealbhach Ó Lionáird (COGG), Dr Karen Ní Chlochasaigh and Carmel Nic Airt (MIC). On behalf of MIC, Dr Ní Chlochasaigh commented: “We have been working with COGG to organise an event that meets the specific needs of NQTs in Irish-medium and Gaeltacht schools and how to best support their professional learning requirements through a practice-orientated lens. This is a great opportunity to disseminate knowledge and experience in the area of Irish-medium and Gaeltacht education and we are delighted to welcome expert speakers to the conference and graduates from the M Oid san Oideachas Lán-Ghaeilge agus Gaeltachta, MIC to share effective evidence-based practices. This is a timely event in the context of the Policy on Gaeltacht Education and the forthcoming Policy on Irish-medium Education outside of the Gaeltacht and to support NQTs in both these contexts at primary and post-primary.”
The day may also be used as part of the Additional Professional Learning Activities, under Droichead policy if the newly qualified teacher has consulted their Professional Support Team and discussed and confirmed this with them.
