Inspire Education
Drawing on many years of experience working with young people in formal and informal settings, we see the gap between what students need and that which is provided in formal education. This means we are very well versed on their needs.
We fill the gap between the science of learning and the practice of studying. We do this through the design and delivery of study skills seminars that empower students with the knowledge and practical experience of ‘what works’ and why. These are available to all year groups and can be tailored to their needs. In these we focus on learning mindsets and motivation and draw from the latest high-quality research in education and learning. We apply this to practical strategies that cover everything from time management and planning, note-taking, and retrieval, through to coursework, essay writing, exam preparation, wellbeing, and study and revision.
Our Leaving Cert pack contains eight resources that help students to manage their time, understand and engage with each subject syllabus, create concise and effective notes and to complete retrieval practice (revision) to maximum effect. We also provide accompanying videos.
These items are the Study Skills Guide (160+ pages), Study Mapping Pad (50 sheets), Revision Cards (50 strips), Cornell Note-taking Pad (50 sheets), an A2 Revision Wall Planner (twin pack), Q&A Flashcard Pack (x50), Q&A Card Organiser and A3+ mesh folder. The A2 Wall Planner and Study Skills Guide are accompanied by complimentary explanatory videos, lasting 45 and 15 minutes respectively.
Our Junior Cert pack contains Revision Cards, a Q&A Subject Organiser, Weekly Planners and Pens. These have been tested by and with students.
