Getting Started - Preparation for Teaching and Learning Booklet

A booklet designed to support teachers and school leaders with preparation for teaching and learning. 

Getting Started-Preparation for Teaching and Learning Booklet

Since the introduction of the Primary Language Curriculum, teachers have naturally been asking how this change in curriculum impacts on their classroom planning. To support teachers in primary and special schools, guidance has been developed through a collaboration led by the Department of Education and involving schools/teachers, the NCCA, the NCSE, and the PDST.

The Guidance aims to support all teachers and school leaders by providing a renewed understanding of how planning and preparation for teaching and learning is demonstrated in the classroom.
