Harry Conway CEO of the Dyspraxia Association of Ireland will give a two hour workshop for teachers, SNA's and Parents on Dyspraxia. There will also be an input from an Occupational Therapist on the night. While the event is free of charge, there will be a donations box on the night. This money will go towards the cost of Harry's travel from Dublin to Kerry.

The aim of this workshop is to set up a Dyspraxia Support group in Kerry.

This course is designed to support SNAs in their knowledge of how creative activities such as art can support a child with special educational needs.(SEN).

The first part of the workshop will help SNAs to appreciate how children with SEN may come to terms with their challenges. For example, children on the autistic spectrum will benefit from being in contact with certain art materials, which may increase tolerance for unpleasant stimuli, whilst channelling challenging behaviours, sensory fixations etc into creative activity.

The second part of the workshop is designed to enhance the SNAs understanding and empathy for the children in their care.

TEST 2r is a comprehensive assessment tool used to screen and pin-point the emergent literacy skills which a 5 - 6 year old child should have acquired.

The screener test made up of five subtests (tasks) is administered  as a means of formative assessment. If a child does not perform well in a particular subtest (or subtests), the SET will administer subtests 6-18 which are more diagnostic in nature in order to clarify specific subskill needs.   Once the test has been administered and scored, results can be entered on the online TEST2r website www.test2r.ie to generate a written report.  Based on these results, appropriate interventions are planned which are supported by resources in the teachers’ manual or from the listed online resources.

Dear Principal,

Principalship in modern times has become a challenging and demanding position and it is acknowledged that principals require ongoing support.

In response to this need, the Education Centre, Tralee in conjunction with PDST is offering the opportunity to principals to come together with fellow principals to collaborate and learn from each other under the guidance of a skilled school leader and facilitator. (Jody O’ Connor)

The programme will consist of four sessions in the school year 2019/20. At these sessions the PDST facilitator will provide an opportunity for you to share your experiences, collaborate and learn from colleagues who are facing similar leadership decisions. The agenda for these sessions will be set by you the participants based on your needs. A minimum of 3-5 years’ experience as a Principal is required to take part in these sessions.

An information meeting will be held in the Education Centre Tralee on 12^th of September at 5pm where you will be furnished with all details. Please register your interest by booking your place on the Education Centre website at www.edcentretralee.ie

Yours sincerely,

Nuala Taaffe
