Objectives:
In partnership with Junior Cycle for Teachers Leadership Team, ACCS is hosting a one-day seminar which will focus on embedding the Junior Cycle Framework 2015 in Community and Comprehensive Schools. This in-service is aimed at bringing all members of the audience to a certain level of understanding while also recognising that different schools will be on different pages of the framework. On the day, there will be lots of opportunities to ask questions and to engage the facilitators in discussion. JCT will continue to provide Leadership CPD later this term but as all sectors will be comprehended, a certain level of awareness of the Framework and its implementation issues will be expected of all participants.
Who should attend?
Chairpersons of Boards of Management, Principals and/or Deputy Principals and/or JC Co-ordinators.
