Professional Development Opportunities 2025-26
In today’s changing educational landscape, professional learning and development is critical to enable continuous improvement and the achievement of positive outcomes for all children and young people. The recently launched DE TransformED Strategy NI and DE SEN Reform Agenda, clearly identify the central importance of professional learning and development in delivering educational excellence and better outcomes for children and young people.
This ‘Programme of Professional Development Opportunities has been developed to provide a guide to the professional development opportunities available to school staff through the EA’s Education, and Children and Young People’s Services Directorates. This has been designed to be responsive to the needs of schools and will continue to be updated as new opportunities or needs arise.
Our professional learning opportunities cover a number of areas, and span across a wide range of roles within schools, from experienced Principals to Early Career Teachers, SENCos/Learning Support Coordinators to Classroom Assistants. By participating in these learning opportunities, we hope that you will not only gain valuable skills and knowledge but also become part of a community of learners engaging in professional dialogue and committed to excellence across our system.
Thank you for your interest in and commitment to professional learning. We hope that these opportunities will support you as you support the learning and achievement of children and young people across our education system.
