Course Description
Is this course for me?
The course modules aim to enhance the expertise of participant teachers in new models of teaching and learning with particular emphasis on Science Technology Engineering Maths/Computer Science. They also aim to address complex challenges related to developing an inclusive educational environment and preparing all school students for higher academic aspiration and progression, through a focus on whole school culture, leadership and change. It is intended that participant teachers will learn how to develop and lead a 'cultural change process' within the classroom and the wider school community. This course is aimed at secondary school teachers.
Deirdre Brennan
Firhouse Educate Together Secondary School (PG Cert 2016-17)
Participating in the Postgraduate Certificate has helped our school introduce and embrace
21st century skills in our classrooms. We have developed a team of teachers and students that are engaged in project-based learning in the Arts, Sciences and Technology using the Bridge21 model of teaching and learning. Personally, I am enjoying a more facilitatory,
creative role in my classroom, and my students have become more active learners.
Stephen Burns
Drimnagh Castle Secondary School (PG Cert 2018/19)
As a Science teacher the course has made me think differently about my approach to methods
of investigation and in particular inquiry based learning. The practical nature of the assignments has given me more confidence to allow students to solve problems on their own and take more control of their learning.
