Upcoming Webinar 10 March 2021: Rahoo Chat with Nadine & Niamh Cullen, Principal

A Virtual Event for Teachers on Wednesday 10 March 2021 at 7.30pm - 8.30pm!

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.

You are a teacher who would like to hear tips from a principal about getting your teaching career off to the best possible start.

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 clear, practical guidance on how to put your best foot forward in interview, instead of panicking about what to say.
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.

When does the webinar start and finish?

The webinar starts and finishes at 7.30pm on Wednesday 10 March to 8.30pm. 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 webinar – 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.

Why do you charge more than education centres for your webinars?

Rahoo is an independent organisation and unfortunately do not receive any government funding. To ensure our viability and sustainability (and make sure we’re here to provide you with a service!) we are unable to subsidise our webinars. However, we often subsidise courses and offer discounts and freebies for teachers – yippee!

Thank you for taking the time to check out this webinar. Feel free to get in touch with us at info@rahoo.ie if you have any questions you would like to ask. We love hearing from you and will do all that we can to support you!

Going back to school is a nerve-wrecking time for everyone – including teachers! It is a brand new start; a chance to do things differently and establish a new routine. We asked some of our followers what are their “Back to School” tips for teachers.

Did you know that 74% of teachers do not feel confident with formative assessment teaching methodologies?
As we approach the new school year, this survey conducted by Rahoo Training in 2020, and its findings, should be at the forefront of a school leader’s mind.
