Planning Effective Units of Learning in Junior Cycle CSPE

This is the CSPE planning session you've been waiting for. Gearóid will give you the complete roadmap for designing engaging, effective units of learning that actually work in the classroom. You'll see exactly how to weave together learning outcomes and key skills in a way that makes sense for both you and your students.

But here's what makes this unmissable: Gearóid is sharing his own tried-and-tested resources. We're talking full units of learning, ready-made activities, classroom worksheets, and planning templates that you can download and use immediately. No theory without practice, no vague suggestions—just practical, classroom-ready materials from someone who teaches CSPE every day and literally wrote the textbook on it.

Whether you're finding your feet with Junior Cycle CSPE or you're an experienced teacher looking for fresh approaches and time-saving resources, this webinar will give you concrete tools to make your planning easier and your lessons more impactful.
