Education does not end with a Leaving Certificate or a college degree. New challenges are emerging all the time, but there are also rapid advances in knowledge. For any career, the key is to keep up to date with developments. Such thinking was part of the rationale underpinning the bringing together of traditional teacher training colleges such as St Pat’s, Drumcondra, and the Church of Ireland College of Education into Dublin City University. It is regarded as important for trainee teachers to study in a research-intensive environment so they have access and are alert to cutting-edge knowledge, both to aid their education and to lay foundations for a culture of professional curiosity and discovery when they are working in classrooms. The child and family agency, Tusla, has brought that a step further with a new initiative, EPPI, giving practising social workers access to an online, interactive resource based on the most up-to-date research.
