National Induction Programme for Teachers/ An Clár Ionduchtaithe do Mhúinteoirí 2010-2011

Teachers in Primary and Post-Primary Schools

The Department of Education & Skills has established a National Induction Programme for teachers from September 2010 to support teachers in making a successful transition from an initial teacher education programme to working as a fully registered teacher in a school.  During the school year 2010-2011 the National Induction Programme for Teachers/An Clár Náisiúnta Ionduchtaithe do Mhúinteoirí in collaboration with the Education Centre Network, will run a series of workshops for Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) teaching in Primary and Post-Primary schools throughout the country.

Circular 0058/2010 outlines certain changes to the probationary process for Primary teachers. The Circular relating to Induction for Post-Primary teachers will issue in the near future. Both Circulars will be published on the Department's website.

Participation in the National Induction Programme for Teachers/ An Clár Ionduchtaithe do Mhúinteoirí is voluntary.

Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) are advised to contact their local Education Centre for details of the programme on offer.

To book a place on these workshops NQTs (PRIMARY) need to contact their local Education Centre.

NQTs Post-Primary workshops/sessions will begin in Education Centres on the week beginning the 18th October 2010. Details will be available on individual Education Centre websites.

Contact details for your local Education Centre are available on this site.

Dates and venues for these workshops for Primary teachers are on your local Education Centre’s web-site, on www.ateci.ie and on www.teacherinduction.ie

Post-Primary teachers should contact their local Education Centre to obtain the relevant information at this time. Further information is available on www.nationalinductionprogramme.com.
