Thank you to all the Blue Star Programme teachers that join us in Brussels to learn more about the EU Institutions 🇪🇺🏢
We look forward to seeing the Blue Star Programme projects next year inspired by what you've learnt!
@PDpDonal @patriciamannixm @Leaders_SoE@niamhickey @patriciamannixm @PDpDonal Its Undoubtably beneficial for both parties involved so leaning towards the affirmative . 😉☺️
To coach or not to coach, that is the question… slightly different to Shakespeare 😜 but one that I have been analysing all weekend while working on our current assignment. 🤔🎭#pdsl@Leaders_SoE @patriciamannixm @niamhickey
"How many strengths are missed?" Chris Wejr
This is a very good point. Schools need to provide a wide range of subjects (and extra-curricular activities if possible) so that students can work to their strengths. #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@Leaders_SoE
George Bernard Shaw's quote sums up for me what this module has to offer re personal development 'progress is impossible without change & those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything' @niamhickey @patriciamannixm #pdsl
Thought provoking TED Talk from K. Christian "It is our responsibility to stand up and say something if we really care about the relationship and...making positive change" @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@aidenaid16#pdsl@Leaders_SoE
Reading this weeks course work and this stuck with me. 'We teach others how to treat us and how to be around us, so we need to be deliberate and thoughtful about how we do that every day.' Certainly something I need to be more mindful of. #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey
1. Today I am announcing a €32 million expansion of the DEIS scheme that will see 347 schools benefit from additional resources.
As a result of this announcement from September 2022, this will bring 1,194 schools and over 240,000 students into the programme (approx 1 in 4) .
We may be focused on looking forward and upward yet looking inward can be the easiest path to take.. how true this is @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@Leaders_SoE#pdsl

Came across this Instagram post from a principal. Proof that feedback can be constructive and is vital in schools #pdsl#leadership @patriciamannixm @niamhickey@Leaders_SoE
As some one who often avoids conflict this causes me to to think what kind of person I am. By confronting difficult situations in a calm, reasonable manner, actively listening and being empathetic I can learn to deal with the drama better. #pdsl @patriciamannixm @niamhickey
