We have to provide students with a platform to be heard, and restorative practice most certainly gives them an opportunity to do that.
Ever wondered what it takes to level the playing field in education? In this episode of 'The Two Norries', hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with the principal and a teacher from Knocknaheeny Secondary School to dig into the realities of Deis schools. These schools are designed to tackle educational inequality, and the conversation sheds light on their vital role.
The guests discuss the stigma surrounding the Irish Times School feeder table and how it skews public perception of schools. They highlight the importance of restorative practices, which aim to give students a voice and foster a supportive school culture. This episode also delves into the benefits of Deis status, particularly for students who have potential but lack opportunities. One teacher shares his personal journey from struggling student to educator, emphasizing the impact of being a positive role model.
The discussion wraps up with insights on how Deis schools are making a tangible difference in students' lives, especially in the face of challenges like online learning. If you're curious about how education can be a force for equality and change, this episode is a must-listen.
