@Downsynnews @adidas @ChrisNikic Delighted to read this. Finding comfortable runners is very difficult and I often wonder about the impact ill fitting runners have on my own daughters participation in sport.

Delighted to see @HMcEntee beginning plans for mandatory student teacher placements in special education settings.

Our two-way learning through the Team Up model @TourismHospDept MTU has been living that vision for some time—giving Home Economics trainee teachers hands-on experience alongside students with Down Syndrome in a shared kitchen space.

Proud to have been ahead of the curve and now seeing national policy seeking what's offered through the Team Up For Home Economics model. @noelgmurray

[Helen McEntee TD @HMcEntee]

I have asked the Teaching Council to start a process to move towards a mandatory assessed placement period in a special education needs setting for all student teachers.

The countdown to awards night is on — just over two weeks to go! We're absolutely delighted and honoured to be shortlisted, alongside our amazing partners @TourismHospDept, for an @EDUAwardsIRL in the category of "Best Community Academic Collaboration".

Our nomination celebrates Team Up for Home Economics — a co-created, two-way learning programme that partnered second-year MTU Home Economics & Business students with community students with Down Syndrome for a hands-on, kitchen-based culinary course.

A powerful example of the incredible impact that emerges when community and academia join forces to create meaningful, high-value programming.

Sincere gratitude to all students, @bbomahony, Siobhán Gough and @noelgmurray .

ENROLLING NOW! Team Up AquaFit for participants 10 yrs and over with Down Syndrome or other Intellectual Disability (ID). In Bishopstown Leisureworld, this programme uses a buddy system to ensure one-to-one support. Each participant with ID turns up in the pool with a family member who is over 18 years and both enjoy a fun aerobic workout to music, while the family member provides any necessary additional support that may be required. This is a fun workout with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Only the participant with ID pays, family member goes free.

@Mick_Finnegan Fantastic, keep it going, you're doing great! Christmas can be very hard, so really really well done 👍

[Canadian Down Syndrome Society @CdnDownSyndrome]

Segregation isn’t the solution.

The Government of Saskatchewan’s plan to expand segregated classrooms isolates students with disabilities and undermines their right to belong and thrive. Inclusive classrooms benefit all students.
