Nominations for Teachers Inspire 2022 remind us that teachers can help change lives

Every year Teachers Inspire receives nominations that continue to remind us of the role teachers can play and how sometimes a single sentence or suggestion can make a powerful impact. The nominations for 2022 have closed and are being reviewed at the moment. The four awardees will be announced in the near future. In the meantime, for this episode, Louise introduces us to two of the nominators. The first is Sarah Doran who went to Pobalscoil Neasáin, Baldoyle, Dublin. Sarah had a tough time in her early teens and did not sit her Junior Certificate. She joined Pobalscoil Neasáin in transition year. Sarah, who now lives in London, has nominated a teacher who was her year head - Aisling Mhig Shamhráin. She says Aisling, ‘essentially saved my life,’ and taught her resilience and to, ‘be myself and not worry about it.’ Then Louise chats to Caitlin Green who nominated Marianne O’Reilly, who was her teacher at Mercy College, Beaumont in Dublin. Caitlin talks about her grief after the death of her grandmother and how Marianne noticed that she was not herself and mentioned it to her parents. Her intervention came, ‘at a really crucial moment in my life,’ says Caitlin who is now at college and plans to be a primary school teacher.
