Droichead Cluster Meeting 1 Post Primary

Sligo Education Centre are delighted to welcome back NQT’s for Face to Face Cluster Meetings 2024.2025.

Cluster Meeting 1 is a requirement of all NQTs participating in Droichead. This meeting provides NQTs with information relating to all aspects of the Droichead process from start to finish. NQTs are given the opportunity to discuss how best they can engage with their Professional Support Team (PST) in order to get support and guidance in addressing their professional learning needs. Key elements of teacher professionalism, the roles and responsibilities of the NQT and PST, observations, developing a Taisce and the completion of Form D are explored with facilitators and peers. Guidance on Preparation for Teaching and Learning is provided at Primary.
