‘An Earagail’ Educational Programme

Increasing the awareness of the importance of the habitats on Errigal

Tá Cairde na hEaragaile CLG  ag obair le Ionad Oideachais Páirc Náisiúnta Ghleann Bheatha ar Clár Píolótach Oideachais le dhá bhunscoil atá suite cóngarach don Earagail. Le linn an phíolótach seo tá na páistí ag foghlaim faoi na plandaí, feithidí agus ainmhithe atá ina cónaí ina dtírdhreacha áitiúla.

Mar chuid den tionscadal, ba mhaith linn:

  • Acmhainn oideachais a fhorbairt, mar shampla, leabhar saothair bunaithe ar an timpeallacht agus ar an tírdhreach thart ar an nEaragail.

  • Measúnú a dhéanamh ar an bhféidearthacht clár féintreoraithe a fhorbairt do scoileanna a mbeadh suim acu foghlaim faoin ngnáthóg ar an chosáin úr ar an nEaragail.

  • agus Measúnú a dhéanamh ar fhéidearthacht an chláir a leathnú amach ag scoileanna eile atá cóngarach don Earagail

Caidé a chuideodh leat do dhaltaí a mhúineadh faoi ghnáthóga áitiúla?

An mbeadh tú sásta:

  • freastal ar chruinniú chun cabhrú linn measúnú a dhéanamh ar caidé ba mhaith leat mar mhúinteoirí a fheiceáil i leabhar saothair, agus/nó

  • suirbhé gairid a chomhlánú chun cabhrú linn measúnú a dhéanamh ar an ngá atá le clár oideachais dírithe ar ghnáthóg an Earagail.

Cairde na hEaragaile CLG in collaboration with Glenveagh National Park Education Centre are currently delivering a Pilot Education Programme with two primary schools located close to Errigal.  During this pilot the children learn about the plants, insects and animals that live in their local landscapes.

As part of the project, we would like to:

  • Develop an educational resource such as a workbook based on the environment and landscape around Errigal

  • Asses the feasibility of developing a self-guided programmes for schools who wish to learn about the habitat along the new path on Errigal

  • and assess the feasibility of widening the programme to other schools located close to Errigal

What would help you to teach your pupils about local habitats?

Would you be willing to:

  • attend a focus group meeting to help us asses what you as teachers would like to see in a workbook, and/or

  • complete a short survey to help us assess the need for an educational programme focused on the habitat on Errigal.
