The School of Education at University of Galway has a long tradition in the education and professional learning of teachers and school leaders dating back to its establishment as a Faculty in 1915. The School, through the Discipline of Education, provides initial teacher education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as other taught and research programmes. We are one of the three lead partners in the Professional Diploma in School Leadership (PDSL) and the lead partner in the Diploma Ghairmiúil i gCeannaireacht Scoile (DGCS). The staff in the School recognise the transformative potential of our scholarly endeavour on the future lives of children and young people in schools and consequently on the wellbeing, efficacy and success of individuals, communities, and society more broadly.
The School aims to respond to this opportunity by engaging with innovative, inclusive, and impactful practice in all domains of our work. Our mission is to educate knowledgeable, passionate, innovative, and caring teachers, school leaders and educational professionals more widely who are inclusive and who ask and work to address critical questions about and in education and schooling.
All our programmes aim to, inter alia:
- enable students to integrate theory and practice to support all domains of professional practice;
- build students' awareness of, as well as competence and skills in enacting, current and emerging national priorities, for example, literacy, numeracy, and inclusion;
- engage students in critically reflecting on, and developing their personal and professional identities, enabling them to become responsible, ethical, collaborative, effective and reflexive practitioners;
- support students as they develop and explore their emerging professional identity as teachers, school leaders, and educational professionals;
- enable students to develop their capacity as inquiry-based practitioners.
The post-holder to be recruited here will play a significant role in initial teacher education for teachers in a range of subject areas.
The outcomes/ key deliverables attached to this post include:
- Support the development and delivery of inclusive teaching and learning aspects of initial teacher education programmes;
- Support the development and delivery of one or more methodologies in initial teacher education;
- Support initial teacher education programmes through school placement supervision;
- Support initial teacher education programmes through practitioner research supervision;
- Support the administrative aspects of teacher education programmes in the School;
- Contribute to the research activities of the School, including individual and collaborative research, postgraduate research supervision, peer-reviewed publications, presentations at national and international conferences, and (funding) grant preparation and application.
A PhD in Education and a relevant teaching qualification and experience are essential.
