E-scéal 324 - Teaching Principals - workload issues
- Published: 12 December 2012
In 2004, IPPN conducted an extensive national survey of principals regarding their workload and how it impacts on their school community and on them. The results were presented to the DES and management bodies in 2005. That same year, IPPN conducted research on the role of the Teaching Principal in conjunction with St Patrick’s College and the resulting report – New Horizons for Smaller Schools and Teaching Principals in Ireland – has been used extensively in discussions with all education partners since. It is clear the situation is not improving. In fact, we are growing increasingly concerned for the health and welfare of our members’ for several reasons, not least of which is the simultaneous pull on your time as principals from several directions.
