  • The Teacher Education Partnership Handbook

    Topics:
    • Teaching staff, 
    • Professional development

    This Handbook provides an overview of the key stages of professional learning for student teachers and newly qualified teachers.

    The Handbook

    The Teacher Education Partnership Handbook (2024 Edition) is a guidance document for teacher-tutors and university tutors, as well as student teachers and early career teachers, and all those involved in the early years of teacher professional learning.

    The Handbook demonstrates the Department of Education’s ongoing commitment to Teacher Professional Learning – as outlined in our ‘Learning Leaders’ Strategy – and will contribute to delivering a highly skilled, motivated and high-functioning education workforce.

    To complement the Handbook, the Education Authority has provided information, reports and materials on Induction and Early Professional Development (as well as information for Teacher Tutors) here.
