St Joseph’s National School is a DEIS Band 1 school situated in Dundalk, in the heart of a vibrant community. The school has more than 500 pupils, representing a wide social and ethnic mix. It is committed to equality of opportunity for all of its diverse intake. For School Self-Evaluation (SSE) the school focused on Literacy in English and Irish, Numeracy and Science.
In this video the school principal discusses how the school aligned SSE and DEIS action planning. Members of the school community also discuss how they dealt with potential overload and how the school involves parents in action planning for improvement. Teachers who are new to the school discuss how they were involved in the SSE process and how it helps them to improve their practice. Finally, the video highlights the school’s use of a conferencing process to support its SSE work in a variety of areas of teaching and learning.
Tigh Nan Dooley is a special school for children with severe and profound learning disabilities. It is located in An Ceathrú Rua, Galway and provides its services through the medium of Irish. The school focused on using the SSE process to develop its approach to Lámh as a communication tool. We’re very grateful to principal Delia Moylan for speaking to us about the school’s experiences of SSE.
