Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Regulation of the English Language Sector: Discussion (Resumed).
Ms Mary Grennan:
In the statutory quality assurance guidelines for English-language education providers, there is a requirement for regular CPD, including, for example, training opportunities such as a masters or diploma level programme.
This would include attendance at conferences and cascading to colleagues, including an observation cycle where teachers are observed and their areas of development identified, after which they work on those areas of development in order to continue developing in teaching.
