A chairde,

As you may already be aware, CLRG formed an international workgroup in late April to investigate and research ways that we can support our community of teachers during and after the COVID-19 crisis. 

Many thanks to the 120 delegates from all over the world that selflessly volunteered their time and talents to work towards our common goal.

Over the next days and weeks, we will be publishing some of the projects created by the workgroup, and announcing upcoming surveys, publications and resources.

The first document produced by the workgroup is a reopening toolkit for teachers who are starting back to classes.  Many thanks to the subcommittee members who put this together in conjunction with CLRG.  "Group 5" (within the workgroup) is tasked with topics such as professional development, insurance, communications and resources for teachers.

Please see the attached document for reference. To share with your staff, you can copy the link in the browser bar, or, download the PDF to your device and e-mail or print.

We hope you are doing well during these uncertain times and we look forward to sharing more resources soon.

An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha is a global organization that promotes Irish dance to a diverse community of teachers, dancers, and families.

Because this diversity enriches our tradition, we stand firmly against racism, injustice, and the marginalization of any peoples.

We implore our teachers to uphold and encourage the highest standards of fairness and equality for all.

CLRG wish to express support for the individuals and families in our community who are in pain: We hear you, we see you, and we stand with you.

We thank those who are working for positive change, as they strive to make our society a safer, more whole, and equitable place for all members of our community.
