The Seminar: Education in Ireland combines the study of the Irish Educational system with an overview of Irish History, Literature and Culture. We study best practices in Irish curriculum, instruction and assessment including international benchmarks. While we review all aspects and levels of Irish Education including special education, you will also have the opportunity to focus your study in the subject area of interest.
While this is an extraordinary opportunity to study another educational system, we also enjoy all there is to see and do in the West of Ireland. We go to the Galway Town Theater, attend a performance of Traditional Irish Music, we visit schools, talk to local teachers, we take you on trips to Connemara and Inishbofin Island and Omey Island, the Burren in Co. Claire and to the Clonmacnois monastic site in the mid-lands, all with University faculty as guides to give you an insider’s view of Ireland.
You will enjoy the vibrant City of Galway, the pubs, the shopping, the busy streets & night life and the extraordinary arts and culture of Ireland that is represented in Galway. It will be the Trip of a Lifetime.
The costs for tuition and accommodation are listed on Page 2 of the Brochure. You can register for the Seminar by completing the preliminary registration form in the brochure.
