As advised by the Teaching Council and agreed by the Department of Education, in the context of Covid-19, Council recognises the variety of teaching and learning environments in which Droichead can operate and that elements of Droichead can take place on-site or online.

Please click on Guidance on Remote Learning 2020.21 for more information.  

NQTs must apply for Droichead via the ‘My Registration’ portal on www.teachingcouncil.ie and receive a confirmation email from the Teaching Council before registering for CM 1.

CM 1 is available to NQTs via our online learning platform https://onlinelearning.teacherinduction.ie

Cluster Meeting 1 will be available online only during Term 2 2021.

A suite of online workshops continues to be available to NQTs via the NIPT online learning platform https://onlinelearning.teacherinduction.ie/ - 3 Primary workshops; 3 Post-Primary workshops and 3 Cross-Sectoral workshops.

IEP for Pupils with SEN (NIPTWS15) for Primary NQTs and Transition from Primary to Post-Primary (NIPTWS12) for Post-Primary NQTs will be added to the suite and made available in February 2021. 

Induction workshops are open to all NQTs to support their professional learning. While they are not a requirement of the Droichead process, many NQTs use them as an Additional Professional Learning Activity.
