Headstart – Supporting Newly Appointed & Acting Principals
- Published: 14 October 2021
Headstart is designed specifically to bring IPPN’s supports and services directly to newly appointed and acting principals during their first year. Many of them will already have registered with Misneach and received a CSL mentor. Throughout the school year, Headstart facilitated by a dedicated team of experienced principals will inform, guide and support these school leaders. Headstart is further enhanced by the Support Office and Leadership Support Teams.
A dedicated email has been set up in order to provide direct access to information, professional guidance and support during the year.
One of IPPN’s most important messages is that you can do this job, you cannot do it all and you cannot do it on your own. Headstart will deliver resources, tips, video clips and professional guidance to make this particular challenge less onerous and help to deliver better outcomes for the children and school community served by the newly appointed school leader.
An initial communication has gone to newly appointed and acting school leaders outlining the resources and supports planned for the year. If you have not received an email from the Headstart Team, please email jackie.oreilly@ippn.ie to be included in this support service.
