First Ever School-Wide Webinar Event

Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board’s Schools Division organised a webinar for staff of all schools on the 1st of December 2020 with Dr Zachary Walker, an internationally renowned expert in individual and organisational learning performance. Teachers, SNAs and PMEs/Teachers on Co-op and school leaders greatly enjoyed the webinar, which also featured a panel of contributors including George O’Callaghan, Chief Executive, Dr Mary Shire, Director at Regeneron, and Donncha Ó Treasaigh, Director of Schools.

Commenting on the success of the event, Donncha Ó Treasaigh, said: “The webinar was a very uplifting and inspirational session and was organised to acknowledge the outstanding contribution and commitment of all staff in our ETB schools since reopening in September 2020.” He continued: “The timing of the event was specifically chosen to provide an inspirational presentation to stimulate professional dialogue amongst subject departments and at staff meetings. It was also very conducive to our collective efforts on promoting personal wellbeing amongst staff.”

The Muintearas in ár Scoileanna – Connection in our Schools event was viewed by over one-thousand staff across schools and colleges via Zoom webinar.

Commenting on the first ever school-wide webinar for ETB schools, George O’Callaghan, Chief Executive, said: “I am delighted with how our schools are re-imagining how we operate our professional development across our schools. The use of cutting-edge technology is maintaining and enhancing our close connection with the schools across the region.”
