Post Primary Droichead Cluster Meeting 1

Post Primary Droichead Cluster Meeting 1

Please take care when booking your Cluster Meeting that you are booking either a Primary or Post Primary Cluster Meeting whichever is relevant to your sector.   

Cluster Meeting 1 is a requirement of all NQTs participating in Droichead. This meeting provides NQTs with information relating to all aspects of the Droichead process from start to finish. NQTs are given the opportunity to discuss how best they can engage with their Professional Support Team (PST) in order to get support and guidance in addressing their professional learning needs. Key elements of teacher professionalism, the roles and responsibilities of the NQT and PST, observations, developing a Taisce and the completion of Form D are explored with facilitators and peers. Guidance on Preparation for Teaching and Learning is provided at Primary.

NQTs must apply for Droichead via the ‘My Registration’ portal on www.teachingcouncil.ie and receive a confirmation email from the Teaching Council (which gives approval to commence the Droichead process), prior to registering for any cluster meetings. NQTs who attend CM 1 without a confirmation email will not receive a Certificate of Completion.

NQTs are required to attend one different cluster meeting (specific to their route of registration i.e., Primary or Post-primary) per term in sequential order for the duration of their Droichead process.

Donegal Education Support Centre (DESC) is the central administration hub for Droichead Cluster Meetings nationally.

All NQTs must first register here in order to receive and download cluster meeting certificates. The submission of cluster meeting certificates to the Teaching Council is one of the requirements when concluding the Droichead process.
