Why have you created this webinar?
“This webinar aims to support schools in the process of reflecting on an
extraordinary year, in how they responded, and the impact on their school
community in terms of their learning, and on their practice for the future.
It is our school’s story; what we have learned, and where do we go from here”.
Kathryn Corbett, Principal of Bishop Galvin National School
We created this webinar with the teachers of Bishop Galvin National School because it has, undoubtedly, been a challenging year for teachers and school leaders. We wanted to create a platform where this could be reflected on authentically using Bishop Galvin National School as a case study.
Whilst there have been many challenges in schools across the country, there have also been many positives in terms of new ways of doing things – we aim to capture and celebrate that!
The hosting of this webinar is supported by Rahoo’s Pay It Forward Policy. We are passionate about professional development for teachers and have worked with over 5,000 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.
What is included?
“Back to Better?” is 1 hour in duration including Q&A opportunities. In addition, you will receive a downloadable framework to complete your own reflection.
This webinar will be presented by three members of Bishop Galvin National School.
