Cuireann Sealbhú: DCU agus COGG fáilte roimh Mhúinteoirí Nuacháilithe ag Comhdháil le linn Sheachtain na Gaeilge

Beidh comhdháil lae do mhúinteoirí nuacháilithe á reáchtáil ag an gComhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) i gcomhpháirt le Sealbhú: Lárionad Taighde DCU um Fhoghlaim agus Teagasc na Gaeilge in Institiúid an Oideachais, DCU ar an 7 Márta. Freastalóidh an chomhdháil ar mhúinteoirí nuacháilithe atá ag tabhairt faoin bpróiseas ionduchtaithe ar a dtugtar Droichead. Cuirtear fáilte roimh mhúinteoirí nua atá ag teagasc i mbunscoileanna T1 (bunscoileanna lán-Ghaeilge agus Gaeltachta) agus i mbunscoileanna T2 (bunscoileanna a fheidhmíonn trí mheán an Bhéarla) araon. Beidh deiseanna spreagúla ag na múinteoirí freastal ar aoichainteanna agus ar cheardlanna bunaithe ar an taighde is deireanaí maidir le teagasc agus foghlaim na Gaeilge. Cíorfar saincheisteanna agus roinnfear comhairle phraiticiúil leis na múinteoirí a thacóidh leo agus iad ag tús a ngairme. Bronnfar mála áiseanna ar na múinteoirí a bheidh i láthair agus beidh deis acu duaiseanna a bhuachan ar an lá! Chomh maith leis sin, bronnfar teastas rannpháirtíochta ar na múinteoirí nuacháilithe agus is féidir leo freastal ar an lá mar chuid de na riachtanais fhoghlama ghairmiúla bhreise atá mar chuid den phróiseas Droichead.

Dúirt Jacqueline Ní Fhearghusa, Príomhfheidhmeannach COGG: Táimid ag súil go mór leis an gcomhdháil seo a reáchtáil le Sealbhú i Márta 2026. Is deis iontach é do mhúinteoirí nuacháilithe teacht le chéile i mBaile Átha Cliath agus iad i mbun Droichead leis an gComhairle Mhúinteoireachta. Tá cainteoirí den scoth eagraithe ag an gcoiste agus tá béim ar chur i bhfeidhm ar agus ar chun cinn na foghlama agus an teagaisc agus an dea-chleachtas sa Ghaeilge agus teagasc na n-ábhar as Gaeilge. Cuirfimid fáilte roimh mhúinteoirí bunscoile ó Ghaelscoileanna, scoileanna Gaeltachta agus don chéad uair scoileanna meán-Bhéarla.  

Dúirt Déan Eatramhach Institiúid an Oideachais an Dr Anna Logan:  Tá an-áthas orainne in Institiúid an Oideachais, Ollscoil Chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath an Chomhdháil do Mhúinteoirí Nuacháilithe a reáchtáil i gcomhpháirt le COGG. Tá fócas na comhdhála leathnaithe amach i mbliana chuig múinteoirí i mbunscoileanna T2, chomh maith le múinteoirí atá san earnáil lán-Ghaeilge agus in earnáil na Gaeltachta. Tá baill Sealbhú ag súil le spás comhoibríoch a chothú don fhoghlaim ghairmiúil agus a bheith ag tacú leis na múinteoirí nuacháilithe dea-chleachtas a roinnt agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar na príomhdhúshláin. 

Is iad an Dr Róisín Ní Mhulláin agus Toirdealbhach Ó Lionáird ó COGG agus an Dr Aisling Ní Dhiorbháin agus an Dr Claire Dunne ó Sealbhú:DCU  atá ar an gCoiste Pleanála. Ní bhíonn mórán deiseanna ag múinteoirí i suíomhanna T1 agus T2 teacht le chéile agus foghlaim óna chéile. Tá cur chun cinn na Gaeilge ag brath go mór ar mhúinteoirí sa dá chomhthéacs. Tá súil againn go mbeidh dea-thionchar ag an lá ar an gcleachtas praiticiúil sa seomra ranga a dúirt Aisling Ní Dhiorbháin, Stiúrthóir Sealbhú. 

Tá an chomhdháil saor in aisce agus is féidir le múinteoirí clárú anseo: https://forms.office.com/e/cxE7zKLepy

Sealbhú: DCU in Collaboration with COGG welcome Newly Qualified Teachers to a Conference during Seachtain na Gaeilge

A day conference for newly qualified teachers will be organised by An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta agus Gaelscolaíochta (COGG) in collaboration with Sealbhú: DCU Research Centre for the Teaching and Learning of Irish in the Institute of Education(IoE), DCU on the 7th of March. The conference will serve newly qualified teachers who are undertaking the Droichead, induction programme. Teachers who are teaching in T1 primary schools (Irish-medium and Gaeltacht primary schools), and in T2 primary schools (English-medium primary schools) are welcome to attend. There will be exciting opportunities for teachers to attend talks with guest speakers and workshops based on the latest research on the teaching and learning of Irish. Key questions will be explored and practical advice will be shared with teachers to support them as they begin their career. Teachers attending the conference will receive a bag of resources and there will be a chance to win spot prizes on the day! Newly qualified teachers will also receive a certificate of attendance and they can attend the day as part of their additional professional learning requirements as part of the Droichead process. 

Jacqueline Ní Fhearghusa, Chief Executive of COGG stated: We are really looking forward to organising this conference with Sealbhú in March 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity for newly qualified teachers who are undertaking Droichead with the Teaching Council to come together in Dublin. The committee have organised excellent speakers and there is an emphasis on implementing and promoting teaching and learning of Irish, best practice in teaching Irish and teaching subjects through Irish. We will be welcoming primary teachers from Gaelscoileanna, Gaeltacht schools, as well as teachers from English-medium schools for the first time.

Dr  Anna Logan Interim Executive Dean of the IoE said:   We in Dublin City University Institute of Education are delighted to host the Conference for Newly Qualified Teachers in collaboration with An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta.  The reach of this year’s conference has expanded  to include all  Newly Qualified Teachers in  T2 primary schools as well as those working in  the Irish-medium and Gaeltacht sectors.  Members of Sealbhú,   DCU’s research centre focused on research on the teaching and learning of Irish,  look forward to creating a collaborative space for professional learning working with and supporting NQTs in sharing best practices and addressing  key challenges.

Dr Róisín Ní Mhulláin agus Toirdealbhach Ó Lionáird from COGG and Dr Aisling Ní Dhiorbháin agus an Dr Claire Dunne ó Sealbhú: DCU are on the planning committee. Aisling Ní Dhiorbháin, Director of Sealbhú stated: There aren’t many opportunities for teachers in T1 and T2 settings to come together and learn from each other. The promotion of Irish is really dependent on teachers in both contexts. We hope that the day will have a positive impact on classroom practice.

There is no fee to attend the conference and teachers can register here: https://forms.office.com/e/cxE7zKLepy
