Gaelic Education Core Hub
The Gaelic Education Hub is based at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Isle of Skye and provides research-informed support and activities – in-person and digitally – for teachers working in Gaelic education throughout Scotland. With a focus on national and international research on immersion education, the hub will offer research briefings, communities of practice, professional conversations and research partnerships to support engagement in practitioner enquiry and the sharing of evidence with other professionals to enhance Gaelic education outcomes. The hub also facilitates access in Gaelic to research-related materials generated by the Centre’s other hubs.
Developing rich Gaelic language: Through providing guidance and sharing resources relating to rich Gaelic language, we will support teachers to develop their use of idiomatic Gaelic language in their settings. We will focus on the common errors made by pupils in Gaelic medium education, providing grammatical guidance to support teachers to develop their understanding around the rules of Gaelic language. We will also provide guidance on how these errors can be targeted, and pupils’ Gaelic language supported, through the teaching of curricular areas.
