Postanna sna gaelscoileanna agus scoileanna gaeltachta

Táim ag cur isteach ar áit le Hibernia chun múinteoireacht a dhéanamh agus tá mé ag iarraidh a dhéanamh amach an bhfuil sé chomh deacair céanna obair a fháil má tá Gaeilge líofa agat? Tá mé rúinín beag as cleachtadh toisc go bhfuil cónaí orm sa bhFrainc ó 2009 ach thiocfadh sí ar ais chugam sciopaidh go leor táim cinnte. Bhíodh caighdeán sách ard agam - d'oibríos i Roinn na Gaeltachta agus le TG4.

As per the Charter:

"Posting in languages other than English

Posting in Irish or other languages is fine, however you should post a translation to English if you are going to do so. Posts that are not translated to English will be deleted."

Wow... There's one for the Coimisinéir right there :-)

"I'm applying for a place on the Hibernia teaching course (postgrad) and I'm trying to find out if it's just as difficult to get work if one has fluent Irish? I'm a little out if practise as I've lived in France since 2009 but it would come back to me pretty quickly I'm sure. I used to have a pretty high standard - I worked in Roinn na Gaeltachta and TG4."

vamos!

They cannot hire you if they have no job to offer you. There are maternity leaves and my schools have always found it tough to find Irish subs but they are subs, not full-time positions. I suppose the risk is up to you. I´don't have Irish but I have French which is also known for being 'in demand'. I have always had some kind of a job but have had to move all over the country and still have no hint of a CID. Check out educationposts to see what kind of jobs are out there. There will obviously be more over the summer but I can count the amount of permanent or 22 hour non-sub positions I have seen in the last 6 years very easily!

I know you haven't asked specifically so I'm just pointing out, that you can be fluent in Irish and French, but until you have a degree in them and the appropriate number of modules, you cannot register to teach them. Sorry if you know that, just wanted to draw it to your attention

I have an honours degree in both :-)

I should clarify though that I'm more interested in primary teaching.

I that case, I don't think you're at any advantage, because all primary teachers should have a level of the language that allows them to teach through it.

Ach bheadh sé de bhuntáiste agat i gcás na Gaelscoileanna mar fiú go bhfuil Gaeilge de dhíth le dul ag múnadh sa mbunscoil, ní dóigh liom go bhfuil caighdeán sách árd ag cuid mhaith de na múnteoirí gnáthbhunscoile le dul ag múnadh i nGaelscoil, agus tá gaelscoileanna i ngach áit anois.

It would be an advantage for Gaelscoils I'd say because even though you have to have Irish to teach primary, I would say a lot of primary teachers wouldn't have a high enough standard to teach in an all irish school.

Please do not back seat mod and yes policy is that you post in both languages.
Many users of boards are not fluent enough to be able to participate if it is Irish only

Bíonn sé deacair ar Ghaelscoileanna ionadaí a fháil go minic.
It's often difficult for Gaelscoileanna to find a sub. HOWEVER, there are hundreds of applications for any job in primary these days, so being líofa (fluent) ,while a point in your favour, won't guarantee you work.

Please do not back seat mod

What exactly does that mean and how did I do it??

You didn't, that was a general thread warning.

Back seat modding is doing the job of the moderator and responding to a post referring to an issue within it, instead of reporting it. In this case your first post was only in Irish thus the post should have been reported and the second response should not be there.

Please don't respond to moderator warnings on thread
