Teachers Inspire awardee Gemma Maher

For the final time in this series we meet one of the 2022 Teachers Inspire awardees and the parent who nominated her.
 
Some of the most moving and powerful nominations are from parents and often it is because the teacher has noticed ‘something.’
 
Joining Louise is Gemma Maher, who is now the principal at Rathcoole Educate Together National School in county Dublin but, as you will hear, the nomination goes back a few years.
 
It was made by Kirsten FitzGerald who explains that Gemma played an important role in validating concerns about her daughter who at the time was one of Gemma’s first class pupils.
 
Gemma and Kirsten also recall teachers from their own school days.
