Chain Reaction (CR) is a European project looking to recruit 10 teachers interested in enhancing approaches to Inquiry Based Science Education. All methodologies used are coherent with the revised science syllabus and the work is conducted as community of practice that emphasises sharing ideas in a truly developmental process. The school is paid directly for your participation and everything is written up by the CR team in a folder that captures the learning for School Self Evaluation purposes.
The work is based in University of Limerick (we recruit nationwide, travel expenses are met and hotels are offered for overnight stays where needed) where we hold a national conference to decide on a team of students and teachers to represent Ireland at an international conference that will be held in Bulgaria.
The ideal class to do this with is TY but we have worked with 1st years in the past. Previous teachers have reported on this as a very enjoyable experience and as a significant professional development opportunity. If this is something you think you might be interested in please give John O’Reilly a call on 0872201305
