@Floodciara20 Yes, also they highlighted that you need both pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge together #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

The idea that everyone can be a leader, we as teachers need to help and encourage children to see their ability to lead in schools in various ways - e.g student council, green school committee etc. #SI401 https://t.co/hTp5bfY26R

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

A key point I took from your presentation that we going out as future NQT's need to network with each other, share ideas on twitter/ blogs and in other ways to keep each other updated and motivated to develop our practice @Amymoffatt3 @Pennyais @KellyA_1995 #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@Amymoffatt3 True Amy ! We as teachers need to focus on both the child's learning in academic subjects and their learning in terms of socialising and being included by their peers #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

Lovely points Ciara ! Distribution, shared commitment and shared responsibility as key for leadership as outlined by our article and others articles #SI401 https://t.co/jYkaMjzDZM

[Ciara Flood @Floodciara20]

The need for leadership was highlighted in the presentations today and our own article mentioned the need for leadership roles and responsibilities being distributed amongst the teachers who share the same value of inclusion as the principal. @Carolin66538453 @aoc1996 #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@Carolin66538453 Very true Caroline! even as student teachers we have engaged in our first CPD experience by attending the various conferences. Yes CPD is key for us to be keep up to date with current strategies and techniques, we are always learning and improving as teachers #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@joan_murphy2017 Very true Joan! We need to make links and connections between modules, i could make links to school as communities lecture and social inclusion lectures when examining our article for our presentation today #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

The word cloud we created for our presentation. The key words relating to the findings in the 3 different schools, similar to the buzz words from our sessions in SIE #SI401 @Carolin66538453 @Floodciara20

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@KatieMcGloinSIE @fiona_king_ @ellenos95 @kate_walsh59 Great presentation ! I could make links to our learning in social inclusion relating to multi-disciplinary teams #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

Recommendations for inclusive reform - create supportive work environments, provide extended professional development, monitor the process and much more. Great presentation @ellamurraygold @joan_murphy2017 @justin_mcguire9

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

Lots of great and varied presentations shown today on leadership. Great way to learn from one another. Our presentation looked at what type of leadership practices foster inclusion #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@elsa_mcd Excellent way to present, accommodating for visual and auditory learners, highlighting how we as teachers should accommodate different learning styles in our teaching #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@mandyd_29 Lovely point Amanda! As studeng teachers we constantly have to assess situations we are in daily in all aspects of school life #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@mandyd_29 I class moral courage as having the courage to try things out to improve/better a situation while thinking carefully about the consequence's & trying to overcome these. What would you consider to be moral courage?have you had experiences of this on placement ? @mandyd_29 #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

Great presentation today from the girls on ten faulty notions! Excellent choice of blind date to present ! Its clear a great deal of work went into it! Well done! #SI401

[PDST Leadership @PDST_leadership]

The importance of good communication is essential for effective school leadership. 'Its all about relationships'.

#communication #LeadershipDevelopment @PDST_leadership #Misneach

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@mandyd_29 Exactly Amanda! A principal also needs to be willing and committed to the values of understanding and respect #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@joan_murphy2017 Yes networking and involving the wider community was mentioned frequently in the lecture today. Teachers are serving the community and we need to induce respect in the community by networking with them #SI401

[Aoife O'Connor @aoc1996]

@joan_murphy2017 True ! Children need to see themselves in the curriculum. The Intercultural Guidelines provide useful advice on how to make classrooms inclusive of all children, for example, in posters, books etc. #SI401
