CPD for ITE (Initial Teacher Education)
A workshop, “Looking at digital tools which can be used face to face and while teaching online”, was delivered
to 1st year PME in Trinity College Dublin on the benefits of digital technology and its implementation in the
MFL classroom.
“Thanks a million for this morning Sandrine –
the students always get loads out of your sessions!"
A talk was given to PME students at University College Dublin on the benefits and key areas in working
together as an MFL department in a school. With shared experiences from colleagues in PDST MFL and JCT
MFL, students were enriched with concrete examples, and became aware of all the supports that help them
to progress towards becoming successful teachers.
PPLI continue to collaborate with the Education Department in Maynooth University. Part of this
collaboration includes delivering sessions to PME Spanish students. A session was also delivered in University
College Dublin in 2020.
