Head Start TY
At Head Start we have developed a number of online courses for TY students. As practicing Secondary school teachers working with TY students on a daily basis we have designed courses to meet student needs.
Our online courses complement the existing Junior & Leaving Certificate curricula, but stay true to the experiential nature of the TY programme. The courses focus on developing students knowledge and skills having regard to their specific experiences, case studies are used to provide content in a fun way which is easily accessible to students
Students and Teachers are provided with access to an online learning platform which is structured by topic and time to guide students through their learning experience. Progress through each module can be easily seen by both student & teacher. Complete set of resources are provided with worked solutions to support both students and teachers.
​
The online structure parallels that of a classroom, but takes the physical requirement out of education making the class accessible for everyone regardless of location. Students can pause, rewind and rewatch the material as often as necessary and gives teachers time to interact and engage with their students.
​
Finally, the courses are designed to encourage independent learning and the development of key skills.
​
All materials and access supplied at a cost of €15 per student for both courses.
