CPD Pilot 2019 for DEIS Teachers

Rahoo / By / 3 minutes of reading

It can be a struggle for teachers to gather the energy after a busy school day to attend a workshop, meeting or other opportunity that will enhance their practice. But we know continuous professional development (CPD) is hugely important. Why? Because a teacher is the most important person in the classroom.
