DATE:         Tuesday, 5th November 2019
TIME:          4pm to 6pm
VENUE:      Clare Education Centre


This Seminar is for Special Education Teachers and SENCOs working in primary schools.

This session aims to bring together a network of teachers working in special education in Clare primary schools. The network aims to provide professional learning, support and networking opportunities for teachers. Johanna will facilitate the establishment of the network and will support its development over time. Johanna runs the MIC SENCO Forum, a similar network for post-primary SENCOs and Special Education Teachers in the Munster area. The practical implementation of the network will be decided by its members and professional learning needs will also be identified by members. If you are a special education teacher or a SENCO in a primary school in Clare and would like to find out more about the network please join us.
