Kathy Dolan (Special Education Teacher)
My name is Kathy Dolan. I am the Special Education Teacher in Lecarrow this year. I am originally from Omagh in Co. Tyrone where the little primary school I attended later became my first permanent teaching post. I taught there for over 13 years before moving to Roscommon where my husband is from. We built our home and have a family of 4 beautiful children, 3 girls and a boy.
My love of teaching began as a young girl. I would always be the teacher when playing school. Many years after off to Strathclyde University I went to study my B. Ed (Hons) degree in Primary Education. My studies taught me that learning experiences should be meaningfully connected across the curriculum subjects and be multisensory, and that children should be given choices of how to present their learning as every child learns in a different way. This is why my teaching style is tailored to my individual pupil’s. I later graduated from Queens with a Masters in E-Learning focusing on how technology can help alleviate barriers to learning for children with SEN.
My hobbies are painting and drawing, baking (my coconut cupcakes being my fav) and going on adventures with my family (a quiet beach anywhere in Ireland preferably).
