This is a brilliant image and quote Kirsty. It shows us the importance of being a leader for change in inclusion and social justice in our classrooms, school communities and wider communities. It is our part of our roles as teachers to create the pathway that others will follow.
This visual really demonstrates a snapshot of how to approach, examine and act on social justice issues in education! It highlights the importance of equity and following our hearts to instigate change! As Nelson Mandela said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” #S1401
That quote about "a fresh start after break" really stuck with me as well Shauna. it shows the compassion and belief the SNAs had in their students. This is something that we need to remind when we are teaching, for some children, even a day is too long to wait to wipe the...

Over the course of this semester, we have discovered the value of being agents of change in our own classrooms and school communities, it creating inclusive, diverse and fair centres of learning for all.
It is easy to see that at times our values will be challenged...
and we might become disillusioned, however, it is important to remember that change does not happen overnight, that culture eats strategy for breakfast and that it through collaboration, communication and the creation of inclusive settings with colleagues that change happens.
Love this image @sineadmcnulty4. It highlights the main components of a successful partnership, which we all will need to develop in our future schools, to ensure that we are enhancing and facilitating the learning of all students in our classes.
(2/2) The teacher and ISA can communicate and discuss the plan for the day, what roles each partner has in different activities. This simple solution is not time consuming but has great benefits. This image also illustrates the idea of effective partnership #si401

Today's session was about the role of S.I.A.s (SNAs) in the classrooms. Lacey 2001 describes partnership as "two or more people working together using the expertise of each to problem solve jointly". This is a key message for us to take with us as student teachers.
...creating collaborative relationships in the classroom. This article highlights the Minister for Education's response to the NSCE new proposed model of support. https://t.co/VgqdLmA7VM. The article in the next tweet highlights the worries that parents might have with the new..
@RobynKenny5 I agree with you, Robyn communication is the key to develop relationships of collaboration in the classroom. We all know what everyone has different strengths which can help enhance the learning of all learners in the class. Expertise is to be valued and celebrated in classrooms.
This is a very powerful and emotive quote. As teachers, we need to be willing to grow and adapt to whatever suituations we experience in the classroom, like how willows trees adapt to the weather. Like a growing tree, we need to expand our knowledge, skills and understanding..
...teachers need to understand this and explore these experiences to develop the children's morals and beliefs. It is also important that the children are given a chance to be agents of change in their own communities, searching for equality, inclusion and equity for all.
These are great tips to enable us to foster social justice in our classrooms @RhiannonCD17. As the image suggests we need to start from the children's own experiences of unfairness and build upon them. Every child has witnessed or experience unfairness themselves, we as future...
@OGara_Samantha As the saying goes "it takes a village to raise a child", therefore how can we expect to educate children if we do not get involved and learn about their local communities. Dialogue and collaboration between the school and the local community are vital.
@CianaD2 This is a great image to explain collaboration and how collaboration can be achieve in every classroom. It is through a supportive, communicative relationship that all forms of collaboration, be it between pairs of students or the class teacher and SET Teacher.
This is a very powerful quote. It is true that when faced with inequality, inequity and injustice in our society, it is up to us to change it. For us, it will start by creating inclusive, and fair classes, while ensuring that all our students' learning needs are catered for.
As future leaders for inclusion, we should recognise and seek to address challenging classroom, school and societal practice that reproduce inequalities (Grudnoff et al. 2017) #socialjustice#si401
This is a great image @JamesDoherty98, reconfirms the need for social justice and education in our schools and society. It will be part of our duty to teach the concepts beyond these words to our students. So it is part of our duty to ensure that understand them.
This image highlights key words within leadership in pursuit of social justice for all and relates well to the ideas discussed in our previous workshop. #SI401
