Struggling with ideas for effective Interdisciplinary Learning [IDL]?  

This programme offers practical insights into the issues involved in successfully developing Interdisciplinary Learning with practical exemplars. 

Several effective whole school approaches will be showcased along with a focus on the Broad General Education and Senior Phase contexts as well as IDL work schemes. Practical issues such as staff development, timetabling specific IDL experiences, resourcing and developing a whole-school approach to wider integration of learning will all be considered.

Throughout the day experienced headteachers will   explore innovative thinking, documentation and practice and consider with participants which contexts for IDL are most appropriate for their schools.
