Tipperary ETB provides a wide range of adult and adolescent education programmes including the Back to Education Initiative, Youthreach, and Community Education. A key priority for our organisation is to provide an education service that continuously maintains and improves the quality of what we do. To ensure quality of provision we employ people who are qualified to the highest standards. However, staff need ongoing support and professional development to maintain standards. This is emphasised in TETB's Professional Development Policy which is in place for a number of years. This application is aimed to resource the organisation's ongoing commitment regarding profession development for teachers in our full and part-time adult education service. Templemore College, Cappawhite Youthreach, and Community Education recognise the student as central to the education. The Back to Education Initiative sector in Templemore College is comprised mainly of adult learners who are early school leavers and others who have been marginalised. Lieb (1991) maintains that part of being an effective educator involves understanding how adults learn best. Knowles (1984), who popularised the term andragogy, identified principles of adult learning such as; adults like to direct their own learning and they like to be actively involved in their learning. They are also practical and are relevancy orientated. (0.1) Templemore College aims to provide a broad range of professional development opportunities for its staff. These mobilities include the use of technology in the classroom, health and wellbeing of staff and students, and the creation of a team in relation to European projects. The development of new teaching methodologies involving technology will bring learners closer to technology as well as allowing them to be more actively involved in their learning. This integration of technology also concurs with the aims and goals of the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (2012) which aims to improve the IT skills to meet the job vacancies that exist in Ireland today. The personal growth of the BTEI learners is an important part of their education. The College aims to provide meaningful life skills such as conflict and stress management as well as formal qualifications. In creating a team within the College with skills and knowledge to structure a project proposal and collaborate and create new links with teachers, learning facilitators and other learners in similar adult education centres across Europe, it is hoped that further projects will be undertaken.(0.2) Youthreach Cappawhite have been engaged in breaking cycles of hopelessness and dejection through education for over 20 years. Through exploration and engagement of the virtual world they hope to develop coping skills, empower and educate their learners so that they are capable of dealing with potential crises through means other than substance abuse and antisocial behaviour. In this centre many of the students fail to attend classes due to geographical reasons. The White Paper on Adult Education in Ireland (2000) refers to the opportunities IT can provide to learners who are removed from learning centres due to distance and may have the potential to learn from home. One of their aims is to make education accessible at all times through the provision of open and distance learning. The Digital Agenda For Europe states that “Digital literacy has become one of the key competences to ensure social cohesion, active citizenship and personal fulfillment. Citizens who do not have the access and skills needed to use the internet are disadvantaged in many ways" (Europe 2020). Our organisation seeks to stem this tide and reverse the sentiments of those with low digital literacy levels. It is through further staff training and the sharing of ideas on an international platform that will assist staff in empowering our citizens. (0.3) Within the Community Education sector of Tipperary ETB staff need to keep themselves active in their own learning and this is encouraged through organising CPD opportunities that are relevant and which enhance core skills. The Erasmus + programme offers an opportunity to add value to their CPD programme for all staff and this in turn will benefit learners and communities. The context therefore is to learn and cascade the learning, enhance teaching and learning skills, and enhance learning experience of participants.Staff are open to sharing their experiences and learning from other’s experiences. Training in other European countries will allow them to acquire knowledge or specific know-how from experiences and good practices abroad as well as practical skills relevant for their current job and their professional development. It will enable them to work together in multinational groups and so benefit from special learning and teaching conditions not available in a single centre, and to gain new perspectives on the topic being studied.
