Almost finished planning. It is such a challenge to get the balance right as it's not about me talking about plurilingualism. Looking forward to hosting another community of practice tomorrow and hope to see some familiar and new faces

A small crowd at tonight's CoP I think I scared some participants off by telling them was a CoP involved. Will need to consider how to entice teachers to talk in a group before the next one in March. Clare Education Centre Navan Education Support Centre Tralee Education Support Centre

Will need to get planning and look at some resources to share to develop language while learning outside. Outdoor learning can be an ideal way to encourage language use

I'm just getting this ready now. Not only am I helping organise but I'm also going to sharing the importance of diverse texts to support learners in schools. This is important for all pupils - not just EAL pupils 📚📚
