They will learn from a new teacher leading an inspiring and motivating interview with experienced school leaders and gain insight into the struggles, challenges and triumphs faced by both new teachers and leaders, as they navigate their roles in the teaching profession.
6. Back to Better with Bishop Galvin NS
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!
We hope you enjoy our free CPD Courses for Teachers!

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?
