Can colleges, which have students for 4 years, do more for promoting Gaeilge neamh fhoirmiúl?  We need teachers with confidence to do Gaeilge as gnáthcumarsáid na scoile. 

We need to respect children's native heritage langauges, and use them where / if possible. Children need to know that value is placed on their language.

Providing effective feedback to learners via digital portfolios)
-       Multi-modal approach to assessment (providing feedback to learners via voice notes, etc)
-       Feedback is not simply a single transition, that there is a loop to promote metacognition etc.
-       Reduce the focus on standardised testing and mandatory ‘secondary’ uses thereof in policies (L&N Strategy, SEN allocation model)
-       Address parental perceptions of Standardised tests.
-       Use of metrics from international assessments are useful.
-       Indicators of success in terms of the LNDL strategy could be beneficial for schools as a guideline for what they should be doing.
- SSE process can feed into school-level monitoring and evaluation

The word 'monitoring' has negative connotations. The focus should be on the six step self-evaluation process.
