21SUM17 Creating a Resilient and Sustainable School Community - ONLINE

The course will run online as a virtual classroom on the MS Teams platform from  July 5th - 9th, 9.30am – 2pm.  Full attendance for all five days (20 hours) will entitle primary teachers to 3 EPV days

The course has been designed for Home School Community Liaison (HSCL) Coordinators. As places are limited, priority will be given to present HSCL Coordinators but it is open to all Primary teachers with an interest in the HSCL scheme, in supporting parents and/or promoting resilience in their school community.  Each participant must be fully registered with the Teaching Council.

Participants will explore a range of strategies to promote resilience and wellbeing among parents and the school community, as well as exploring supports available to families. There will be a particular focus on Child and Family Support Networks and ‘Meitheal’. Meitheal is a multiagency approach developed by Tusla, where a range of various professionals work in partnership with families to improve outcomes for children. 

The course will be facilitated by Tusla Education Support Service (TESS), Tusla Prevention Partnership Family Support (PPFS) and the National Adult Literacy Agency (NALA). It will incorporate active learning methodologies for use in when working directly with families and when delivering courses or workshops to parents. 

Links to sign in to the course will be issued in advance.
