Great tools available now for addressing cultural diversity & inclusion but need to avoid tokenism #edchatie

patjburke May 15 @ 3:46 PM EDT

I can already see lots of different interpretations of the word 'diversity'... a diversity of diversities? #edchatie

#edchatie Do entry requirements for ITE programmes, esp. at primary, restrict a diverse teacher population? (Gaeilge, 480~ CAO points min)

In reply to @TEPEnetwork

LorraineConnaug May 15 @ 3:46 PM EDT

The children involved in writing dual lang books loved having their first lang affirmed. Opp to involve parents #edchatie also.

dhubhda May 15 @ 3:47 PM EDT

you read my mind. Tokenism is a risk. One parent said school was just ticking a box. #edchatie

In reply to @AimieBrennan

patjburke May 15 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Did you find that cultural and other aspects of diversity crept in? Not just linguistic? #edchatie

In reply to @LorraineConnaug

AshDonohoe May 15 @ 3:48 PM EDT

Definitely think irish requirement will hinder diversity among teachers. Points requirements not so much. #edchatie

Recently saw some really lovely examples of Dual language books submitted for Write a Book project #EdChatIE

marygtroche May 15 @ 3:54 PM EDT

#edchatie i.e. we are a very homogenous teaching body. Difficult for students from other cultural backgrounds to say "I could do that job"

Coming up to question 2 now on tonight's #edchatie on education for all: diversity in education

patjburke May 15 @ 3:55 PM EDT

I think that this poem says it all! #edchatie

thebradmontague Nov 15 @ 7:50 PM EST

A poem about room

dhubhda May 15 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Permits schools to recruit teachers of certain faith in interest of protecting school ethos. Legalised discrimination #edchatie

In reply to @paud_ie

AshDonohoe May 15 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Ok point proven. I would've thought teaching is becoming a little less female dominated in recnt years. #edchatie

In reply to @peter_lydon, @johnmayo, @mikepcarey7, @TEPEnetwork

John it would be but it's very true #edchatie

In reply to @johnmayo, @AshDonohoe, @mikepcarey7, @TEPEnetwork

AimieBrennan May 15 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Children need to be given the language necessary to stand up against discrimination, only possible when tackled head on #edchatie

We got there before you! Reminder: Our second topic for discussion... How can teachers support diversity in practice? #edchatie

#edchatie They do not. My daughter was the only ethnically different child her class at school. Have students who've said this.

#edchatie comparing Irish schs to my exposure here to US system. Your average Irish rural school is as diverse as abucket of white paint :-P

dhubhda May 15 @ 4:02 PM EDT

Agree. However some of books I suggested for schools were frowned upon as promoting certain lifestyle choices!!! #edchatie

In reply to @patjburke

marygtroche May 15 @ 4:02 PM EDT

#edchatie Ensure fair representation of diversity of student body on student councils etc. Create opps for involving all parents in schools

In reply to @TEPEnetwork

patjburke May 15 @ 4:02 PM EDT

Do you think we can 'wait' for second generation migrants to make their way through the system (learning Irish along the way)? #edchatie

I think we will soon see our 2nd Gen migrants who have moved through the Irish ed system among reaching profession #edchatie

We're halfway through tonight's #edchatie discussion on diversity in education and question 3 will be along just after 9.05

patjburke May 15 @ 4:04 PM EDT

That's not terribly surprising... as mentioned earlier we need all 'kinds' of diversity in the books chosen.. #EdChatIE

In reply to @dhubhda

AlecMahony May 15 @ 4:04 PM EDT

As an English born and English trained teacher I do not see the language as that big a barrier #edchatie

cathaldepaor May 15 @ 4:04 PM EDT

Thought on second question; talk is a good start; divergence is to convergence, as diversity is to…convers…ation?#edchatie (working in MIC)

dhubhda May 15 @ 4:04 PM EDT

#edchatie I speak where I am competent & not so competent in other languages to parents. #edchatie

magsnohilly May 15 @ 4:04 PM EDT

@patjburke ....would be wonderful to think it is not a 'waiting' game #EdChatIE

antimire May 15 @ 4:05 PM EDT

Lack of diversity is not just Irish phenomenon: same happens in Britain. High-achieving immigrants gor for more lucrative careers #edchatie

you cannot see it in isolation from the structure which is predominantly Catholic. Latter has to change. #edchatie

In reply to @TEPEnetwork

magsnohilly May 15 @ 4:08 PM EDT

Important to consider the silence that often surrounds more 'diverse' issues...does this promote inequality? #EdChatIE

marygtroche May 15 @ 4:09 PM EDT

#edchatie We may have to have positive discrimination initially to set the ball rolling.

In reply to @TEPEnetwork

Irish requirement should be relaxed as an entry requirement for those in DEIS schools. Standard to be achieved in ITE #edchatie

In reply to @TEPEnetwork

#edchatie Access schemes go some way to improve access to ITE for students from different socio-economic backgrounds

johnmayo May 15 @ 4:09 PM EDT

#edchatie agree

In reply to @marygtroche, @TEPEnetwork

AshDonohoe May 15 @ 4:10 PM EDT

Catholicism shouldn't even come into it. Once you teach by ethics of school does it really matter what your religious views are? #edchatie

In reply to @dhubhda, @TEPEnetwork

mikepcarey7 May 15 @ 4:10 PM EDT

#edchatie while system strives to be diverse to meet the needs of different faith, cultures,there is no pathway for this voice teaching 1/2

1 such finding "Students who enter primary tchr courses are more likely to be socially advantaged than those on other HE courses" #edchatie

In reply to @ESRIDublin, @TeachingCouncil

LOMNIM May 15 @ 4:11 PM EDT

All primary tchr training takes place in religious institutions.This is a major barrier to diversity.#EdChatIE

antimire May 15 @ 4:11 PM EDT

Irish isn't the barrier for migrants. It's that high-achieving migrants opt for more lucrative + higher-status careers #edchatie

In reply to @LorraineConnaug, @TwinklROI

fboss May 15 @ 4:11 PM EDT

Question 4 in tonight's #edchatie on diversity in education will be up and running in the next 5 minutes

Absolutely Sandra, couldn't agree more. #edchatie

In reply to @dhubhda, @TEPEnetwork

antimire May 15 @ 4:11 PM EDT

Plenty of high-achieving students from migrant backgrounds do well in Irish but go into other careers as teaching isn't attractive #edchatie

#edchatie I wonder what would be the impact on the system if we had more failing students enter the teaching profession

patjburke May 15 @ 4:14 PM EDT

Are headlines like this representative?: Why are so many teachers white, Irish, middle-class women? https://t.co/MmX9ENs9dZ #edchatie

johnmayo May 15 @ 4:14 PM EDT

#edchatie forgot the "" around failing students

fboss May 15 @ 4:14 PM EDT

It's very important to try to ensure diversity across all levels of the system and that then the voices can be heard #edchatie
