The Level 1 and Level 2 Learning Programmes Special Schools 2022 - 2023 (PP)

The Level 1 and Level 2 Learning Programmes Special Schools 2022 - 2023

DATE:      Wednesday, 1 March 2023
TIME:       7pm - 9pm
VENUE:   Online Via Zoom

This Online Workshop will look at the Junior Cycle pathway for students with special educational needs called Level 1 Learning Programmes (L1LPs). L1LPs have been introduced to provide an inclusive, realistic, purposeful, and beneficial education for some of our learners. These students would have an existing individual education plan and would most likely be in a special class placement within a special school or mainstream school setting. We will explore how the Level 1 Learning Programmes (L1LPs) & Level 2 Learning Programmes (L2LPs) sit within the Junior Cycle framework, explore the L1LPs & L2LPs, Priority Learning Units, Elements and Learning Outcomes, build on understanding of Level 1 & Level 2 Short Courses and consider how the L1LPs might work in your context.
