First Think about Teaching Class Graduates
Friday, November 22nd was a historic date as it marked the Graduation Ceremony for the first Think About Teaching class, here at Maynooth University. Think About Teaching is a one year Foundation Course for Initial Teacher Education (FCITE), which prepares students from underrepresented groups for entry to teaching degrees in Maynooth University. The programme is funded by the HEA and Maynooth University, and is a collaborative initiative that is supported by the Department of Adult and Community Education, Froebel Department of Primary and Early Childhood Education, MU’s Department of Education and the Maynooth Access Programme.
The graduates were joined on the night by family, friends, lecturing staff, members of the Turn to Teaching Steering Committee and Mr Neil McDermott of the HEA to celebrate the students’ wonderful achievement. The audience was also treated to a beautiful performance by the ‘Little Minceirs’ of their original composition, ‘Labels’. The ‘Little Minceirs’ are a group of talented girls from the Offaly Traveller Movement.
