Thinking about a new career in 2022?

At this time of year, we often think about changing careers so you may find Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s new resource useful if you are considering a new career in teaching through the medium of Gaelic. Following on from the commitments in the National Gaelic Language Plan 2018-23 to recruit, retain and educate Gaelic teachers and to advertise Gaelic teaching as a career, Bòrd na Gàidhlig has created a new resource called a padlet. The padlet complements the existing General Teaching Council for Scotland’s leaflet ‘So you want to teach in Gaelic?’.

What is a padlet?

A padlet is a digital tool – a form of online noticeboard - where websites, documents and videos are clearly displayed on a single wall. In each of our padlets you will find information on the different routes into Gaelic teaching, collected and presented in an appealing format. The aim is for this to be a straightforward and accessible way for people to find the information they need in one place as they begin their journey into Gaelic Teaching.

Who is it for?

One of our padlets provides guidance for registered teachers who wish to develop their language skills in order to transfer to Gaelic Medium Education; while the other padlet has been created for those considering an undergraduate or postgraduate course in Gaelic Education to teach Gaelic as a subject or to teach a secondary subject through the medium of Gaelic.

How can I access it?

You can access the padlet by scanning the QR code with your device. If you have any questions, please contact our Development Officer at angela@gaidhlig.scot
