Schools have until Wednesday 13 April 2016 to engage in the school led redeployment process. After this date, a Panel Officer will be appointed to deploy any remaining teachers on the main panel.
Schools may invite teachers on the relevant panel to express an interest in permanent posts in their school on www.educationposts.ie

An update on the work of CSL
- Published: 17 February 2016
The Centre for School Leadership (CSL) Mentoring Programme is progressing very well with 150 primary and 68 post-primary schools signed up for the training. The primary principals are in the Leinster area only. It is hoped that principals in other areas will have access to the programme in the next school year. CSL and Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) are working together to include mentoring in the Misneach Programme.
The CSL team are currently involved in the tender process for a coaching service for a limited number of principals which will be available countrywide from September 2016.
The third level ‘Aspiring Leaders Programme’ is also going to tender. This new course will begin in 2017. Toraíocht will continue as usual next September.
If you are a principal in the Leinster area and would like more information about the mentoring programme or if you are based outside of Leinster and would like more information on any aspect of the work of CSL, please email Anna Mai Rooney at amrooney@cslireland.ie. Your suggestions, comments and queries are very welcome.
