Group Mentoring for Deputy Principals
- Published: 15 October 2024
Building on the experience and the learnings from last year, IPPN will run a second phase of the pilot group mentoring programme for newly-appointed Deputy Principals. We are again offering the programme to those who are currently engaged with the Tánaiste programme.
It is hoped that the group mentoring programme will afford newly-appointed deputy principals the opportunity to
- hear and talk about the experience of the practice of leadership in the company of peers
- reflect on and develop leadership practice
- build networks of peer-to-peer support.
Groups are being established linked to the following six education centre areas:
- Blackrock
- Dublin West
- Galway / Clare
- Limerick
- Monaghan
- Wexford.
Over the course of the school year, each group will have 5/6 meetings which will take take place in the afternoons, after school finishes, to make it as easy as possible for people to attend. It is envisaged that the meetings will be held in person to facilitate greater engagement, although some meetings may be convened online to evaluate the viability of a blended approach.
If you are interested in participating in this pilot group mentoring programme, please email brian.odoherty@ippn.ie.
