The Teaching Council has informed us that due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the unprecedented situation of school closures, Council has reviewed its position in relation to NQTs who, in collaboration with their PST members, are engaging in Droichead in 2019/2020. 

The Teaching Council has issued guidelines for NQTs and PSTs engaged in Droichead in 2019/20.
The Teaching Council will email these guidelines to all NQTs engaged in Droichead.
NIPT will email these guidelines to schools engaging in the Droichead process.

Three additional induction workshops will be available on a phased basis for NQTs.

From May 19th, the cross-sectoral workshop Child Protection & Safety (NIPT WS10) will be accessible via onlinelearning.teacherinduction.ie 

From May 22nd, the cross-sectoral workshop Inclusion (NIPT WS13) will be accessible. 

The sector-specific Numeracy (NIPT WS11) workshop continues to be accessible for NQTs who have not yet engaged with or completed this workshop.
