Who is this webinar for?
You are a teacher who wants to know what principals are looking for from teachers.
You are a teacher who would like a better understanding of how to stand out in a job interview or in a school.
You are a teacher who wants to learn more about working in an Educate Together school.

This webinar would mainly suit newer teachers to the profession as we will be chatting about the NQT year, Droichead, planning requirements amongst other key topics.
By the end of this webinar, you will:
- Know what principals are looking for, instead of worrying about what it is they want.

- Have an understanding of what it is like to work in an Educate Together school, instead of wondering what the difference is.
- Feel empowered to take the next step in your journey to becoming a teacher, instead of feeling unsure of what to do next.
Why have you created this webinar?
We created this webinar because we want to support you in your first steps in the teaching profession. Nadine and Niamh spoke at NQT Fest in January 2021 and we felt that there was much more that could have been discussed – and you told us you wanted more!
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?
“Rahoo Chat with Nadine & Niamh Cullen, Principal” is 1 hour in duration including Q&A opportunities.
This webinar will be hosted by a Nadine Lyons, Rahoo’s Teacher Ambassador. She will be interviewing Niamh Cullen, Principal of Harcourt Terrace Educate Together National School.
Niamh has also worked with newly qualified teachers for many years. She trained as a mentor with the National Induction Programme for Teachers in 2007 and has mentored teachers in all school settings and classes. Niamh is an Associate with NIPT and facilitates induction workshops, Cluster Meetings and PST Training.
Between 2015 and 2017, Niamh was seconded to the Teaching Council. Here, she was directly involved in the development of the current Droichead Policy.
Niamh is passionate about supporting NQTs as they transition from college to school.
The webinar will be recorded and available for you to re-watch up to two weeks post-event.
A downloadable Certificate will be accessible after the event.
Limited Availability.

11 Ideas for End of Year School Activities
What an exciting time of the year! Your main lessons and topics are complete and the pupils are getting excited for their summer holidays. It can be a challenging time to keep pupils engaged in classroom lessons due to exciting events on the horizon like school tours or sports days, so I like to keep things light and fun and still try to ensure the learning is taking place.

3 Classroom Management Mistakes to Avoid
This is always a hot topic for teachers and so important to get it right.
Here are some mistakes that teachers have shared with us when they did our EPV Summer Course on Classroom Management with Niamh Byrne, Irish Primary Teacher.

The Secret to Successful Lesson Planning!
Why do we remember the words of lyrics we haven’t heard in years? Why do some experiences stick in our heads more than others? Something made them memorable!
Make your lessons stick by trying to make some aspect of it different. This could be as simple as playing music (we have played classical music when students were working independently in the past) or hooking them into the lesson with mystery tasks or controversial questions that spark debate.
When planning ask yourself: What can I do to make this lesson memorable?
