Great decision made to start paying student nurses! Does this extend to other healthcare students working on the frontline during this crisis? Final year Radiographers starting unpaid placement next week, having to separate from loved ones and quit part time jobs. @SimonHarrisTD

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

I have learned so much in the SIE specialism thanks to @fiona_king_ & @logananna11. I've learned that inclusion goes beyond children with physical & mental disabilities. I have also learned the importance of leadership and to be confident in your ability to lead change. #si401

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

This week's lecture around working with ISAs was incredibly helpful in developing our skills and confidence in working in an assertive manner with ISAs. ISAs are important members of staff and we must always remember to respect their roles as professionals in the school. #si401

Inspiring! #si401

#InclusiveLCPS2019 Wow, I was blown away by these kiddos and their writing about inclusivity! We are all special and have ABILITIES! “Inclusion elevates all.” @WaxpoolES

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

This lecture was very helpful as this can seem intimidating, but discussing it with @fiona_king_ and the rest of #si401 has given me the confidence to use my voice as a future teacher and lobby stakeholders in effective ways to overcome challenges.

[Aideen Meally @AideenMeally]

Our last lecture with @fiona_king_ allowed for us to discuss stakeholders that we can lobby when overcoming challenges. It was really interesting to hear my peers challenges and how they would overcome them. #si401

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Last week's session with @fiona_king_ allowed us to discuss challenges we encounter on school placement regarding inclusion for all. It was very helpful to hear that my peers had similar challenges to what I had on SP and how they dealt with them. #si401

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Looking forward to @logananna11 lecture with us on collaboration with SNAs. Really important topic to discuss and very relevant to us as it's likely that we'll have have an SNA in our class in the next few years. #si401

A great toy show this year. It was inspiring to see inclusion of so many children with additional needs on a TV show likely to be viewed by many children and adults. @fiona_king_ #si401

[Jacqueline Braddish 🎵⚽️📚 @braddishjackie]

@RTELateLateShow It shouldn't be called The Late Late Toy Show but The Late Late Gift Show. These children didn't want toys but the gift of acceptance, love, inclusion. The most important gift you can give a child ❤❤❤

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Last weeks lecture content included discussion around how to approach stakeholders in order to implement change. This discussion has made me feel more confident and empowered around leading my future school in change for the better. @fiona_king_ #si401

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Following NCSE conference last week & competition of the PD framework I feel passionate that schools should be moving towards a more inclusive culture, as at the moment there's too much focus on labels. I hope to lead my school in planning for inclusion for ALL@fiona_king_ #si401

Is Inclusive Education Right for Ireland? “You hear of other children travelling miles and miles to get to special schools. The last thing I want for her is to spend hours on a bus every day. It’s not fair – the system isn’t fair.”

All presentations and slides can be found at the link below from this weeks @ncseirl research conference in Dublin Ireland on inclusive education.

Well done NCSE. A true pleasure to have been a participant.

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Very interesting article and will hopefully improve the struggles parents often face finding places for their children. We need to start considering all children equally important and as having an equal right to education. #si401 @fiona_king_

[SaoirseMcT @SaoirseMcT1]

Interesting to read this article after today's #SI401. The minister for education is taking on recommendations from a report from #ncse. They believe segregating pupils into special classes & special schools is in breach of UN Conventions.

A quote that succinctly captures they key message of Joao Costa in his address to delegates at today's NCSE Conference.
#ncseconf2019

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Today’s #ncseconf2019 reiterated the value of collaborating with others. Jody Carr discusses how partnerships are key and how important it is to work with people who are interested in change. #si401 @fiona_king_

[Ann Marie Farrell @AnnMFarrell]

And finally, the absolutely wonderful Grace Murphy, a 17 year old post-primary student shared her story with my student teachers and left them with the message ... Please don't underestimate pupils with disabilities ... Grace stole the show! @MaireadODM 4/5

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

Really interesting conference today with NCSE, posed a lot of interesting questions around inclusion. I look forward to discussing it with my peers from #si401 and @fiona_king_ at tomorrow’s lecture!

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

What a great quote!It really shows how important our role as teachers are and how important it is for us to be open to change and to lead the change process ourselves, to ensure that teaching and learning is constantly at its highest standard for our students. @fiona_king_ #si401

[Katie oates @Katieoates12]

I really like this quote by Dr. Pearlman as it shows the effect teachers can have on a child’s life. As a teacher, you are a leader in a student’a life- they look up to you and respect you. Now all you have do is make sure they feel included and empower them to learn #si401

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

I really enjoyed listening to the presentations last week. It was great to see how inclusive each groups lessons were of all children even though the content in the plans were so different. I enjoyed working collaboratively with my peers for this assignment. #sI401 @fiona_king_

[Emma Grealis @grealisemma]

From our last lecture we Joe Travers, something that I learned was that it is important during a change process that individualism and collectivism have equal power- a combination of both is ideal when implementing change. @fiona_king_ #si401
