PPLI Annual Report 2022 - Flipbook - Page 13
Impact:
Overall, in 2022, PPLI was able to provide significant support for the FLA scheme, assisting teachers, FLAs and
schools in their application process, preparations for arrivals of FLAs, and in contributing to the development
of effective collaborative teaching and learning practices arising out of the FLA’s participation in school life.
Some feedback from participants re session October 2022:
“A lovely way to meet fellow language teachers and to connect with assistants in the area.
Course presented in a warm and friendly manner.”
Athlone Education Centre
“I found it useful for both CTs and FLAs to put themselves in the other's shoes during one of the tasks, for both sides
to understand the roles more and to be aware of any issues that may creep up throughout the year.
I find it's always better to address them before they happen!”
Drumcondra Education Centre
“Good to know some great practical ideas. This session was motivating for me as a FLA as well.”
Wexford Education Centre
“Very good facilitators. Very good scenarios for both teachers and FLAs.”
Galway Education Centre
“It was a very lovely atmosphere and enjoyable, especially after a full day of work. Thank you for the great
suggestions. It was very helpful to exchange ideas and thoughts.”
Monaghan Education Centre
