Capacity through PPLI Associates
Action 1.C.11
15 PPLI Associates
Overview:
PPLI Associates are registered second level language teachers from all over Ireland who support PPLI with
implementation of several key actions in the Languages Connect Strategy. The Associates help build capacity
in their regions and extend the reach of PPLI.
PPLI Associates facilitate MFL Communities of Practice, train language assistants at a group and individual
level, act as mentors for teachers of new languages and attend events organised by PPLI.
The Associates are provided with support and CPD so that they can continue to be well equipped to support
the needs of teachers.
Main Aims:
•
PPLI Associates are upskilled to support the delivery of their work and in turn support MFL teachers in
their regions
•
PPLI Associates champion the work of PPLI and aim to be leaders in best practice sharing their knowledge
and experience at Communities of Practice, and Teacher Professional Network conferences
•
PPLI Associates are also engaged with the core PPLI team to give feedback from the classroom and advice
on how to best connect with schools
