A privilege to hear Dr @SoniaCabell speak yesterday at the LAI conference. So many key takeaways, rooted in the importance of quality teacher:child conversations.
I’ve now added ‘Strive for Five Conversations’ to my “to purchase” list…along with many others this weekend.
I am leaving with lots of food for thought, tangible strategies and motivation to continue to learn more!
What an incredible space to network and meet others in the Literacy/Education world!
A huge thanks and congratulations to all involved @LiteracyIRL 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Honestly, nothing but positive things to say about #laicon2024
Some of the key takeaways were:
🗣️Improving the language learning environment enhances language comprehension.
📚It’s not just about the texts we choose, but rather the conversations that come during and after.
Happy Stand Up Awareness Week to all post-primary schools this week. Opportunities to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community should be all year round, however, this important week shines a focus on the incredible inclusionary work of schools across the country. Well done to all! 🏳️🌈
The autumn edition of Literacy News is now live on the LAI website. A wealth of wonderful content. Read it here: https://t.co/J4uQpDHoCN #literacyireland#edchatie
Thoroughly enjoyed attending my school’s production of Aladdin! I’m blown away by the talent, props, singing and dancing that I witnessed this evening. It made it even sweeter to see my former 2nd class perform as 6th class pupils! It really does take a village but honestly-wow!
Really enjoying the discussions this evening! Very timely discussions too regarding ‘covering all bases’. The fireside chat style of webinar is very accessible too! Thanks to all involved @LiteracyIRL
@MrsKirstBarrett@niamhmcguirk0 Beautiful books! Same as myself, Kirsten, I hadn’t come across a few of the titles. But after today, they are joining my (ever growing) collection!
I delivered a fantastic session today, planned by @niamhmcguirk0 on ‘Affirming identities and using children’s books’. This session inspired lots of fruitful discussion on authentic representation in the classroom and how to use these texts across the curriculum!
@niamhmcguirk0 Absolutely! There was a lovely buzz in the room throughout! Also…I had never seen some of those texts before and I can honestly say, an order has been placed 😂
