  2. Transition Year One year programme for students who have completed Junior Cert. It provides a bridge to enable students to make the transition from the more dependent type of learning associated with the Junior Cert to the more independent learning environment associated with the Senior Cycle. It encourages personal and social development and recognises the need for students to grow in independence.

  15. Why implement ePortfolios? Two years ago… We had 120 TY students. All TY students now had iPads. The school had started using Microsoft 365.

  16. We were looking for a better way to store and assess student work. We wanted to engage different types of learners. The students engagement with subjects was not being effectively reflected in written portfolios. It provided a better and more consistent opportunity for students to reflect. Saves ink and paper!

  17. Ongoing Assessment in TY Formative • Students constantly update and add to their workspace. • Ongoing interaction between students and teachers are possible. Summative • The ePortfolio forms part of the end of year assessment. Students choose what to include and talk about at the interview at the end of the year. • The interviewers could look ahead and see the variety of skills demonstrated.
