Summer Courses
This summer, Educate Together will be running an unprecedented 5 continuing professional development courses for teachers. These courses address both challenging academic material as well as practical classroom ideas and resources. Feedback to date has been overwhelmingly positive, with teachers enthused and energised by the material presented. In response to requests from staff in our schools, for the first time ever our introductory course will now be available both in online and blended formats. The other online courses specifically address the individual strands of the Learn Together, which is the ethical education curriculum used in Educate Together schools. These strands offer a range of integration possibilities, particularly with literacy, SESE and SPHE.
All courses have been designed and developed by teachers for teachers and are DES approved for EPV days. To date, over 600 individuals have completed at least one of our courses. For further information, please contact summercourses@educatetogether.ie
