The implementation of the Framework for Junior Cycle will enable post-primary schools to provide a quality, inclusive and relevant education with improved learning outcomes for all students, including those with special educational needs. The framework document indicates that teachers will receive professional development in educational assessment, including processes of moderation, and providing feedback to students. Principals and deputy principals in their leadership role will receive professional development in curriculum leadership, educational assessment including moderation, and change management. Continuing professional development (CPD) will be provided on a phased basis in line with the roll out of curriculum changes in each subject. The details of the CPD programme will be worked out over the coming months and further information can be provided at a later stage.
