Stratford College will be represented at FÉILTE (Friday and Saturday, 5th and 6th October) in the Researchmeet section of the festival. FÉILTE is the Teaching Council’s annual Festival of Education in Learning and Teaching Excellence.
The Researchmeet will involve contributions from teachers and other researchers who were awarded research funding by the Teaching Council under the first round of the John Coolahan Research Support Framework.
