DATE:        Tuesday, 9th March 2027
TIME:         7pm - 8pm
VENUE:     Online Via Zoom

Target Audience: Online Primary, Post primary, SNA

This interactive webinar takes a closer look at a set of EAL strategies, rather than covering lots we will use this time to take a slower, deeper look at approaches that make a difference.  This time we will focus on 4–5 approaches in depth, including sentence starters, substitute tables and other practical scaffolds that help multilingual learners move from ideas. Expect clear modelling, real classroom examples and take‑away support that you can adapt for any subject or level.  We’ll also begin building a shared Padlet of resources for classrooms across Ireland.
