Student Teachers – 5 day Rule
- Published: 27 January 2022
Enactment of amendments to the 2016 Teaching Council Registration Regulations was signed on 21 December 2021 which provides for the registration of student teachers on concurrent programmes of accredited Initial Teacher Education who have completed two years of those programmes. The process of registering student teachers is currently in progress by the Teaching Council. The 5-day rule continues to apply to this cohort of teachers until receipt of their Teaching Council Number. IPPN has sought an update on the progress of this project from the Teaching Council based on the impact that it is having on school leaders in filling substitute teaching vacancies in schools.

- Student Teacher School Support Noticeboard – Eligible 3rd and 4th year student teachers can list their availability to substitute in schools. The noticeboard is available on EducationPosts.ie. It can be accessed via the ‘Noticeboards’ tab on the menu tool bar or clicking HERE
- Teaching Council Registered Teachers – Sub Seeker is a service within EducationPosts.ie which facilitates the short-term recruitment of Teaching Council registered teachers. To help find a substitute teacher most suited to a school, substitute teachers themselves can provide their most recent subbing experience under ‘Experience’ tab and any additional information that may be of benefit to the school leader in the "Other Relevant Information" tab.
