SECTION 1 MARINO INSTITUTE OF EDUCATIONWELCOME

Message from the President

Dear student,

Welcome to Marino Institute of Education. I trust that you will find this prospectus useful and

informative and that it will encourage you to enrol on one of our programmes. Course provision at the institute

includes the Bachelor in Education degree, the Bachelor in Science (Education Studies) degree and the Higher

Diploma in Education (Primary Teaching). These programmes are validated by Trinity College Dublin.

A number of core principles and traditions inform our work, including a strong commitment to the preservation,

promotion and use of the Irish language. We are a Catholic college and our culture and ethos are reflective

of the mission of Edmund Rice whose central philosophical tenet was that education is a prerequisite to the

attainment of full human dignity. All B.Ed. and H.Dip. students experience teaching practice in schools serving

designated areas of disadvantage and special education settings. Students on the B.Sc. programme do workplacements in various education-related settings. The institute prides itself on having dynamic, supportive and

creative staff who strive to ensure that all students experience a sense of belonging to our learning community.

This prospectus includes information about aspects of college life including induction days, teaching and

learning, sports and clubs, the personal tutor system and other support mechanisms. The institute provides an

educational experience which enables our students to grow intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and culturally.

In Ireland we are very fortunate that teaching as a career continues to attract high calibre entrants. At

Marino Institute of Education we aim to ensure that future generations are enabled to meet, with self-confidence and assurance, the demands of life, both now and in the future. With its Bachelor in Science

(Education Studies) Marino Institute of Education recognises the breadth of the field of education and prepares

students to meet the needs of learners at all stages in both formal and informal settings. Marino Institute

of Education has a reputation for excellence in initial primary teacher education, and its other education

prgrammes. You will not regret your decision to enrol on one of them.

Dr. Anne O Gara

President

The Role of Irish in the Institute

One of the institutes distinguishing features and characteristics is that communication through the Irish language is encouraged

and welcomed in all areas of life, including administration, teaching and learning, and social activities. Most courses are taught

through English but students are prepared and supported to undertake school placements in the Gaeltacht and/or scoileanna ln-

Ghaeilge. A sruth Ln-Ghaelige is offered to B.Ed. students whereby specific courses can be studied through the Irish language.

The following supports exist: Cumann Gaelach

Irish language newspapers and magazines available in the library

Cultural events

Irish Language Fund (supporting students engaging in Irish language activities, e.g. an tOireachtas)

Grants available for B.Ed. and H.Dip. students applying to do a school placement in the Gaeltacht

An Irish Language award is presented annually to the graduating student who is foremost in promoting Irish in the institute

Language Course in the Gaeltacht

Attendance at the Gaeltacht is a requirement of the Department of Education and Skills for all B.Ed. and H.Dip. students. B.Ed.students, in general, opt to attend a two-week course in the Gaeltacht during the Easter break in first year and again in second

year. The cost of attending the Gaeltacht is in addition to registration / tuition fees. Each student pays the charge directly to the

Gaeltacht college.

The aim of the Gaeltacht course is to help the students spoken Irish. Students agree that the weeks in the Gaeltacht

are very memorable.

Bachelor in Science (Education Studies)B.Sc. (Education Studies) students may take a specialisation elective in Gaelige. This specialisation helps develop students

Irish and prepares them for working through Irish in various education settings.

Open Day

An Open Day is held in Marino Institute of Education in November each year. Details are posted to post-primary schools in

October. Students, parents and guidance counsellors are welcome to attend to inform themselves about careers in education,
