Welcome to the October edition of the LINC Programme Newsletter. We hope you and your family are well.
We celebrated the 8th LINC Graduation on Saturday, October 19th 2024, marking a significant milestone in the academic journey of our graduates. The graduation ceremony took place at the Mary Immaculate College Campus, where friends, family members and staff came together to celebrate the hard-earned success of our graduates. We have included some photographs from the occasion below. We would like to remind all graduates of the LINC Programme that in addition to taking up the role of INclusion COordinator, you will now be recognised for Lead Educator Status under the DCEDIY Qualification Guidelines.
To gain some insights into the LINC student experience and the remarkable achievements within the LINC Programme, we had the privilege of speaking with LINC Graduate, Adrienne Keely. You can watch her testimonial video below.
In this edition of the LINC Blog, Fiona Kirkland, Play Pedagogy Officer at Play Scotland, emphasises the transformative impact of play on early childhood development. Drawing from her extensive experience, she highlights how play fosters creativity, resilience, and social skills. She provides practical strategies for promoting play in various settings and underscores the importance of ensuring all children have access to high-quality play opportunities.
Finally, the LINC Team proudly congratulate Professor Emer Ring, Dean of Education at MIC, on the recent launch of Special Education in an Independent Ireland 1922-2022: Insights from a Century-long Journey. This landmark publication, commissioned by the NCSE, sheds light on the evolution of special education policy over the past 100 years. You can read the publication below.
