Student-teacher in an Irish university. Currently gaining work experience in a mixed school of about 1000 students. 
I teach English and History. 

This year, I will write my dissertation (my third one!) on the implementation of collaborative teaching in post-primary schools.

I'm primarily interested in student motivation and firmly believe that students won't learn from people they don't like. 

My teaching inspiration can be seen below.]]> 2016-10-29 15:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134041789 msdoyle16 https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134044541 Low level collaboration: 
In 2nd year History class, students will be given a series of cards based on the Reformation. They must work in pairs to match new terms with their definitions e.g. Church abuses etc. (Level 2 activity)

Fifth year students get into groups of 3. They must work together and present a 5 minute presentation where they will defend a historical figure from the Cold War in a "court of law". One student will be the historical figure (in dress and in speaking in first person) who is being accused of war crimes. The other two students will act as their lawyers. After the presentation, the lawyers must improvise and defend their client against class questions and accusations. (Level 4/5 activity). ]]> 2016-10-29 16:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134044541 msdoyle16 https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134301566 Are they working together? 
        Discuss an issue, solve a problem, create a product
Is there shared responsibility? 
        Collectively own the work and be responsible for its outcome
Do they make substantive decisions?
        Substantive decisions = decisions which affect   
Content/Process/Product
Is their work interdependent?]]> 2016-10-31 17:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134301566 msdoyle16 https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134303751 Dream (brainstorm/think freely/share ideas), explore (collect information on a topic), map (structure thoughts and ideas/seek to understand how they are related), make (develop or create a product), ask (get feedback), remake (replan or revisit their product), show (present results of their work)]]> 2016-10-31 17:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/134303751 msdoyle16 https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/138887732 2016-11-19 17:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/138887732 msdoyle16 https://padlet.com/msdoyle16/t_learning_diary/wish/138888009 Assessment could be based around:
