Join us for episode three of Season 4 in conversation with Ciarán Donnelly, a primary teacher who thinks outside the box.
Ciarán is a forward-thinking and imaginative educator who embraces innovation and fosters a dynamic learning environment. And it was these particular traits that saw Ciarán lead his students at Green Lanes National School, to enter, compete and become, Ireland's first international NFL flag football champions and win an all-expenses-paid trip to Orlando, Florida.
Tune in to hear this remarkable story of one teacher’s transformative approach to education and the life-changing experiences created for his students. As the NFL Flag Football programme expands across Ireland with plans for provincial championships throughout the country, his story reminds us of the powerful impact teachers can have when they recognise and nurture students' passions.
