TL21 Information Session for Principals/Deputy Principals (Post Primary) Tuesday May 2nd @ 2p.m.
Athlone Education Support Centre is planning to offer the TL21 programme for 2023/2025.
The programme has a number of key aims (https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/tl21) including:
· to address the isolation and insulation that teachers can and do experience in their
day-to-day professional lives;
· to strengthen teachers' capacities as the "authors" of their own work – to encourage and support them in actively engaging with a wider repertoire of active teaching strategies and
· to encourage students to become more active and responsible participants in their own learning.
We will work with a cluster of post-primary schools in the Athlone Education Support Centre's catchment area and the following is a brief outline of what is involved for schools that participate in TL21.
- The TL21 Programme is a two-year programme.
- The programme is not a series of lectures; rather a series of collaborative professional development workshops planned in a developmental sequence.
- There will be 5 workshop sessions in a school year.
- Each school may like to suggest the themes or aspects of teaching and learning they would like to address: e.g. assessment, AfL strategies, differentiation etc.
- Each participating school will have the opportunity to progress the chosen theme(s) in their own school and report back on progress to the whole group of schools participating.
- Ideally there should be five participating teachers per school and the Principal or a Deputy Principal.
- Full attendance is expected.
To support you in making a decision and commitment to TL21, we have arranged an Information Session for Principals and or Deputy Principals in Athlone Education Support Centre on Tuesday May 2nd at 2pm – 3p.m. (A light lunch will be provided at 1.30pm)
