Teachers Inspire 2022 is now open for nominations at https://www.teachersinspire.ie/shareyourstory
English teacher Una Smith, from Virginia College in county Cavan, was one of the four Teachers Inspire awardees last year.
Shauna Sheridan decided to nominate her after watching our host Louise chatting about Teachers Inspire on Ireland:AM on Virgin Media television.
As well as preparing for her Leaving Certificate exam that year, Shauna's father took his own life and her mother was recovering from cancer. Una believed in Shauna’s academic ability, but also, Shauna said, “she was somebody that believed in me and wanted to see me do well as a person, and helped me get through the year.”
Louise is joined by Shauna as she tells her about what was happening in her life at the time and about the impact Una’s support had.
Louise is then joined by Dr Audrey Doyle, DCU Anti-Bullying Centre, who says that the mental health and wellbeing of students “is fundamental to the life of a school.”
