“Exploring Our Energy” is an exciting new programme from SEAI and includes CPD workshops for teachers in primary schools across Ireland.  It aims to make teaching energy and science easy while also using new teaching practices in digital learning. The programme, developed by St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra will facilitate a new approach to science in your classrooms via inquiry-based education while also fulfilling curricula requirements.

The CPD workshops are part of SEAI’s programme of events for primary schools, are free of charge for teachers and can count towards Croke Park hours, subject to school management approval in accordance with DES Circulars. 

There are four strands to the programme – junior & senior infants, 1st & 2nd class, 3rd & 4th class and 5th & 6th class and the full programme is available to download from SEAI’s website http://www.seai.ie/Schools/Primary_Schools/. All schools that avail of a workshop will receive a printed copy of the programme. This is part of the many ways in which SEAI supports schools in the delivery of science and energy education.
