Teacher Education Partnership Handbook

The Teacher Education Partnership Handbook PDF 633 KB draws together in one place guidance for student teachers, beginning teachers, teacher-tutors and others with a role in the three main stages of early teacher education.

It contains information on the roles and responsibilities of the various teacher education partners in Northern Ireland, higher education institutions (HEIs), Education and Library Boards (ELBs), Curriculum Advisory and Support Services (CASS) and schools) in the three, integrated, stages of teacher education:

  • initial teacher education;
  • the induction stage; and
  • the second and third years of teaching, referred to as early professional development (EPD).

It also contains the list of 92 teacher competences.  Underlying the teacher competences are certain qualities of the teacher which enable them to employ the individual competences and apply them in a professional context.
