Erasmus and Greece

During February midterm break 2022, Ms. Fowley and Michelle O Brien completed a course on designing inclusive learning environments to support all students, in Athens, Greece. This course highlighted the importance of diversity and differentiation, within a school environment. We improved our knowledge on differentiation, inclusion and diversity in schools. The aim of the course, was to give us new ideas to make our classes and schools more inclusive and to aim for variability rather than disability. It is hoped, to raise the achievement of all learners in inclusive education. It gave us, more ideas, to help us become even more welcoming to our students. We explored, embracing different students in our school and giving everyone access to the same opportunities. It was a very informative course and we came away with various new ideas. We explored the city, sampled Greek cuisine, learned about Greek culture and improved our historic knowledge of Ancient Greece. The valuable knowledge gained will benefit our pupils in our ever growing school. Thus, we can now incorporate this new learning into our everyday working life in St Ronan’s and share our new knowledge with our colleagues.
