Better Finglas are currently delivering training to early years practitioners through a series of five Aistear workshops under the Pilot National Síolta Aistear Initiative. The first group of practitioners to participate in the training completed the full course in May. The feedback from the training was very positive with many of the settings making positive changes to their assessing and curriculum planning processes.
Participants on the training were: Teresa Whelan, Katherine Law and Sinead Sliney (Little Turtles) Frances O’Toole and Aishling Daly (Glenhill Community Playgroup) Pauline Hogan, Paula Franzoni and Orla McGrath (Griffith Community Playgroup) Fionnuala Neville, Rita Kiberd and Catherine Flanagan (Butterflies Community Playgroup) Marion Daly, Jacinta Gorman Rigby (Mother of Divine Grace Community Playgroup) and Lorraine Higgins (Finglas Community Playgroups Coordinator)
