New Avenues to Teaching are delighted to host this event, which is open to all, as part of the Cork Lifelong Learning Festival.

Join us for an engaging talk with Anne Burke, Chair of the Traveller Education Unit, Traveller Visibility Group and Prof. Nicola Ingram, Head of School of Education about an exciting new MEd module and CPD micro-credential being offered at UCC. The course is designed to challenge Traveller exclusion in education in Ireland and offers a unique opportunity to explore critical discussions on an important social justice issue whilst gaining a qualification.

Dr. Mark Prendergast, a colleague from the School of Education, recently had his research highlighted in an RTE Brainstorm article.

The article looked at some of the unintended consequences of the bonus points initiative for higher level leaving certificate mathematics.

Wednesday 26th March, 9am-3pm - Join us for an inspiring Education Research Day.

Hosted by New Avenues to Teaching, School of Education and UCC Futures- Collective Social Futures.
