IPPN

Published: 05 March 2012

You may be aware that the Teaching Council has published a document called Career Entry Professional Programme (CEPP).  This programme is being developed to ensure the effective transition from college to classroom of Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs).  There is tremendous value in aspects of this programme.  However in the context of the current workload experienced by Principals, there are serious concerns about the impact that CEPP would have, if added to the role.

IPPN is seeking a meeting with the Teaching Council in the coming week to reflect the many serious concerns of Principals in relation to the proposed CEPP. There will also be a consultative meeting with the education partners in the Teaching Council on February 24th at which IPPN will be represented. It is very important that the voice of Principals is clearly heard as the implications for Principals are greater than for any other group involved in this process.

We are anxious to have your response to this document by next Monday, 20th February.  Please email consultation@ippn.ie">consultation@ippn.ie with the issues that most concern you as a Principal and any suggestions you wish to make. It would also be important to express your concerns directly to the Teaching Council.
