    Who is NQT Picnic for?

    You are a soon-to-be teacher, student or a newbie teacher who wants to get prepared for the new academic year.

    You would like a better understanding of how to prepare for your first day, week and month as a teacher!

    You are a soon-to-be teacher who wants to gain confidence and competence in topics such as classroom management and lesson planning.

    You want to develop a clear understanding of how to effectively prepare for all the students in front of you.

    You are a soon-to-be teacher who wants to gain an insight into principal expectations of them in the job and in interview.

    You want to be inspired, motivated and informed about your new role in the teaching profession, which is about to start!

    Thanks so much. I learned so much and it has given me a lot to reflect on and implement into my practice. It was so reassuring to hear from like-minded people. I can’t wait to go through the recording of the event again. I will definitely be doing some more courses through Rahoo and recommending it to my teacher friends.

    Hayley Morgan

    By the end of this CPD event, you will:

    • Have clear, practical guidance on how to prepare for your first day, week and month in your teaching role, instead of feeling like you are clueless on what you are supposed to do.
    • Know how to build effective relationships with your students easily and quickly, instead of worrying about what to do.
    • Have clear steps on how to plan engaging lesson seamlessly, instead of feeling like you are overwhelmed and unable to do it all.
    • Know and understand your role in being a trauma-responsive teacher, instead of feeling unsure of what to do.
    • Feel empowered to use the tools and resources shared in the virtual conference to prepare for your NQT Year, instead of feeling unsure.
    • Be able to understand a principal’s perspective and expectations of NQTs, instead of being worried that you don’t understand what they want.
    • Have confidence in your ability to be the best teacher you can be, instead of feeling like an imposter in the classroom!
    Reserve your place for €29 Early Bird Offer!

    Why have you created this event for NQTs?

    We launched our pilot event for NQTs called NQT Fest in January 2021. It was such an uplifting, inspiring and motivating day to be part of and the feedback was phenomenal!

    Since then, we’ve had over 300 teachers sign up to our NQT events with fantastic feedback.

    So, forget Electric Picnic, we’re having our own mini-festival focused on teaching, learning and getting started as a teacher!

    It is daunting when you start out as a teacher – they show you your classroom and send you your students – and then leave you alone!!

    It can be nerve-wracking… We’ve been there!

    NQT Picnic will settle those nerves and provide you with the tools to make the very best start you can!

    We are passionate about professional development for teachers and have worked with over 10,000 teachers since 2017. As a teacher, you are the most important person in the classroom – you make the greatest impact on the students in front of you.  

    Reserve your place for €29 Early Bird!

    What is included?

    NQT Picnic is a specially designed online event for NQTs.

    This event aspires to inspire, motivate and share valuable insights to our newest teachers.

    We explore topics such as:

    • Essentials for an NQT Classroom
    • Planning & Preparing for the first day, week and month
    • Becoming a Trauma-Responsive Teacher
    • Building Relationships with Students
    • Principal Expectations
    • Teacher Wellbeing
    • The Practicalities of and Preparing for the NQT Year.

    We hear from experts in education and teachers who have walked the road before you and are willing to share their experience.

    We take the time to reflect on how far we have come and we set goals for the year ahead.

    Join us for a morning of positivity and support in a virtual space full of like-minded teachers who are cheering each other on!

    "Setting Up for Success in September", Ciara Lynch

    Ciara is a 3rd Class Teacher in an Educate Together school. She is passionate about creating a positive, inclusive and welcoming classroom for all students throughout the school year”. Ciara manages the successful Instagram blog called @ciarasclassroom, which has thousands of global followers.

    "Becoming a Trauma-Responsive Teacher", Aideen Flynn

    Aideen Flynn, PG Dip Ed, MA, M-IAPTP, M-EAIP
    has worked with children in educational settings for 20 years. She is now a child and adolescent psychotherapist specialising in play therapy now working in her own private practice in Co. Clare. From here she provides play therapy and creative psychotherapy to children and adolescents. Aideen designs and delivers workshops and trauma informed, evidence based trainings to parents and professionals nationwide.

    Research informs us that over 50% of all children will have experienced a traumatic event by the
    time they reach adulthood (Copeland, W.E. et al 2007). The impact of trauma often leaves the child
    stuck in a survival loop, diminishing their capacity to regulate their emotions and behaviour. They no
    longer feel safe. This dramatically reduces their capacity to access learning and the curriculum.

    This talk will give an overview of the core principles of the course: From Trauma Reactive to Trauma
    Responsive – Becoming a Trauma Responsive School
    – A regulated “downstairs/emotional” brain means an accessible “upstairs/thinking” brain
    – Connection heals the need for protection – The 5 minute dose of Connection
    – Co-regulation before Self-regulation – The C.A.L.M. response to Dysregulation
    – Boundaries as a signal of safety

    "Principal Expectations of NQTs", Niamh Cullen

    Niamh will focus on Teaching, Learning, Planning & Professionalism. Niamh is Principal of Grace Park Educate Together National School. Niamh trained as a mentor with the National Induction Programme for Teachers in 2007 and has mentored teachers in all school settings and classes.

    Rahoo-EPV-Summer-Course

    Fiona holds an M. Sc. in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of East London

    Teaching is a career like no other, with so much reward and fulfilment, yet it’s also very demanding and challenging. Looking after our well-being has to be a priority, as the saying goes, self-care is not selfish, you can’t pour from an empty cup! The earlier in our careers we learn this, the better!

    Absolutely fantastic experience! Having the opportunity to hear different perspectives, opinions and advice from people in the teaching world really made me feel part of a community. It also reassured me to hear that so many teachers and NQTs go through the same struggles as I do, again, making me feel part of a special group. I would highly recommend this to anyone feeling a little disheartened about their first year as an NQT, or even anyone wishing to find out more in general. Brilliant!

    Niamh

    I've learnt so much today for me that is invaluable. I could not recommend the NQT Picnic enough. Many thanks to everyone!

    ** Please note that this event is subject to changes. **

    How long does the Early Bird offer run for?
    It finishes on 14th July – it’s a good deal right!? Grab it quick! 🙂
     
    When does the event start and finish?
    NQT Picnic starts and finishes at 10am on Wednesday 27th July to 2pm. Please try to be 5 minutes early and get yourself cosy with your cuppa and notebook – and a few scented candles – go on!
     
    What if I can’t make it at the date and time? Can I attend later?
    Yes – sign up as usual. Then ignore any reminder email we send about the upcoming event – sorry in advance! The event will be recorded and the recording will be shared the next day and available up to two weeks post-event to watch. All you need to do is log back into our platform and it will be there on the event page.
     
    Will I be visible to other attendees?
    No! Imagine a dark theatre with the lights shining on the stage – and nobody can see each other in the audience – we use Zoom webinar technology and so it is not like attending a virtual meeting. As well as this, questions can be inputted anonymously.
     
    Do I get a certificate of attendance?
    Yes, you can get a certificate post-event to download. Please ensure you do this within two weeks of the event.
     

    Thank you for taking the time to check out this event for NQTs.
