Co. Louth VEC have recently engaged with the Second Level Support Service (SLSS) of the Department of Education and Science to put in place an ongoing programme of continuous professional development (CPD) for the scheme’s teaching staff.
As part of this collaboration teaching staff were surveyed last term as a means of ascertaining the current CPD needs of teachers. At this point the survey results have been analysed and a long-term best fit CPD programme has been developed. This programme commenced for Co. Louth VEC teaching staff on 19th January 2010 and will comprise different elements that are tailored for different groups and combinations of teachers across the scheme.
The first element of the CPD programme will run from January to May 2010 and is being aimed at all those teachers of Business subjects currently employed in Co. Louth VEC schools/centres. This group of teachers came together on the afternoon of 19th January 2010 in the boardroom at VEC head office, Chapel St. Dundalk and were facilitated by Ms. Fiona Kindlon and Ms. Della Meade from SLSS. The afternoon’s programme was devoted to “Practical Approaches to Enhancing Student Motivation in the Classroom” and the feedback from all those involved was very positive. The second and final part of this particular programme takes place on 15 March and 12 May 2010 respectively.
