DCU’s unique Teacher Fellowship Programme

Providing teachers with the opportunity to work with student teachers while also progressing their own studies, is at the heart of the Teacher Fellowship Programme.
It is a unique programme offered by DCU and the second group of teachers began their fellowship a few months ago.
Louise is joined by two of them – primary school teacher Emma Farragher and secondary school teacher Niall Farrell.
They tell her why they applied for the fellowship, what they enjoy about it and what they will take from it back to their classrooms.

Teachers Inspire is an Ireland-wide initiative that seeks to celebrate teachers and to recognise the transformative role they play in our lives and in our communities.
Hosted by acclaimed author Louise O’Neill, the Teachers Inspire podcast meets inspirational teachers, those whose lives they’ve touched along with researchers and educators, discussing topics including early childhood education, inclusion in education, mental health and wellbeing, teaching gifted children and STEM education.
