Come to a convivial evening in the lovely surroundings of Whispering House at St Columba's College to share ideas about teaching English. The College was the venue for the 2019 and 2022 researchED Dublin conferences.
Teachers will speak about elements of the Leaving Certificate, Junior Cycle and Transition Year courses, and there will be plenty of chance to ask questions.
Presentations:
- Miriam Barragry: Approaches to Creative Writing in the English Classroom
- Michael Browne: Creating a Poetry Anthology
- Annie Donnelly: Supporting students with dyslexia in the English classroom.
- Amy Earley: Encouraging students to engage with the page in plays and create scenes in a shoebox
- Aoife Fleming: Effective Feedback in Senior Cycle English
- Julian Girdham: The Comparative: a simple classroom approach to revision.
- Rebecca Morrin: Literacy Word Builders
Go here for a description of the enjoyable 2022 event at the same venue, and here for the 2023 event. This year's event page.
Please note that this event has no 'official' element: it is 'just' a group of teachers coming together to share ideas.
St Columba's College is in Whitechurch near the M50 (see the map below). Eircode: D16CH92. Attendees will be guided by pupils from the car-parks to the venue, Whispering House. Tea and coffee will be available from 6.30pm.
