      A recycling program and any activity based on awareness of global warming is a great idea to educate the class on the issues of global warming in today’s world

        Schools have a very important role to play in implementing awareness and discussion about refugees in Ireland.
        as a teacher in a DEIS school, it is very important to not only educate the children about these matters, but also be very sensitive towards the topic.

        I think the idea of a body system is a very effective and engaging idea to merge both the students and the refugees.

        In Dublin, there is an organisation that helps refugees in the city. This organisation is called the city of sanctuary, Dublin. This organisation is associated with a network of places, activities and establishments that welcome refugees into the community. Linking with this organisation, I think the school could organise various activities, events and create awareness around refugees in Ireland.
        This would give the students and authentic experience with refugees and asylum seekers in the local area. ultimately, this would encourage sympathy and hospitality towards refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers.

          The buddy system sounds Like an effective and encouraging strategy to take when working with the sensitive life of a refugee

            Dear Shona, I have also heard about the dream space project that takes place in schools. I would love to include this in my lessons this year to encourage education and sustainable goals.

              Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have a major effect on children in today’s world. In particular, it has an undeniable influence on their quality of education. For example, SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). These sustainable development goals have a have an impact on children’s well-being, their nutrition, their mental, health and health overall. Having a lack of any of these necessities can have a very negative impact on a child’s educational career.

              furthermore, SDG 4 (quality education) encourages a good standard of education, helps the child become a lifelong learner, and ultimately develops their cognitive abilities.

              Finally, SDG 5 (gender, equality). The sustainable goal development encourages equal treatment of both girls and boys and encourages opportunities presented to girls to help them excel in society and in education.

              As a teacher, I feel we have the responsibility to not only educate our children about the sustainable development goals and their importance, but also to encourage discussion and reflection within the class to help them, understand it at a more depth and further more be outspoken about the port importance of these in the future.

              this can be sheaved through various lessons based on sustainable development goals.

                Gender stereotypes are evident every day in both the classroom and whole school setting. As a teacher I have observed this over my years of teaching.
                extra curricular subject preference is a very evident gender stereotypical topic.
                Boys in the class tend to have an interest in and excel at subjects such as P.E. , construction, science experiments etc. while girls tend to gravitate more towards subjects such as art, music, drama and even writing.
                The gender stereotype between subject choices and likes and dislikes may be minimised by lessons on  gender and stereotypes in todays society. Discussion and reflection would help the children become aware of the situation and become ,Orr cautious going forward on the influence of our gender society.

                I think the lesson plan provided in this module, based on deciphering, likes and dislikes of girls and boys would be a great starting point into the discussion of gender stereotypes in today’s world

                  Yes I have seen similar scenarios during group projects in my classroom. The girls tend to gravitate towards the presentation, writing and drawing whereas the boys were interested in object building with materials and researching information on the computer
