Fast Track Volunteers Night

A very successful Fast Track Volunteering Night was held at the Durkan Centre on Wednesday, February 17. despite it being mid-term, or maybe because it was mid-term, there was a good group of students along during the day for their Fast Track classes. Later in the evening over twenty people attended the training event. Cathal, a Maths graduate from DIT spoke about his experiences over the past few months teaching on Fast Track. Azeez, a Fast Track 'graduate', now Trinity Science student, now Fast Track teacher, spoke enthusiastically of how he was supported over the years. Laurence, a young leader and school student, spoke about how Fast Track was currently helping him. His contribution was a great encouragement to all volunteers present. The evening finished with a practical presentation by Mark Hamilton of Citywise on the approaches to teaching smalll Fast Track groups and on the pitfalls to the avoided. His key message to volunteer teachers was 'keep students busy, ensure that they are doing the work in the tutorial or class'.
