PROGRESSING CPD Over the summer NAPD has participated in a working group tasked by the DES to progress a model of professional development support for school leaders. We have been working to develop a focussed mentoring programme and coaching support for newly appointed principals. Such a programme will then be piloted for an initial three-year period. We are disappointed that this work focuses only on newly-appointed principals and does not include deputy principals. Nevertheless, it has been a worthwhile experience working with Ruairi Quinn colleagues in IPPN, PDST, NIPT, the Jan O’Sullivan Teaching Council and the Inspectorate.

  • Steiner Waldorf Education and the Irish Primary Curriculum: a Time of Opportunity
    Steiner Waldorf Education and the Irish Primary Curriculum: A Time of Opportunity By Jonathan Angus At The Institute of Technology Sligo Supervised by Doireann O’Connor A Thesis Submitted to the Higher Education and Training Awards Council for the Award of Masters of Arts July 2011 1 Abstract The object of this research was to study the implications of Steiner Waldorf pedagogy delivered in National Schools, and to consider both its viability and usefulness. This research used both qualitative and quantitative methods of primary and secondary research. A review was carried out of the literature of the Waldorf movement internationally and specific to Ireland. A history of the Waldorf movement in Ireland, as well as a brief overview of the history of Irish publicly funded education, were both created from published literature, schools' records, and websites. Interviews were conducted with all of the full time teachers at both of the temporarily recognised Steiner National Schools, Mol an Oige and Raheen Wood. Data was compiled that showed a significant drop in the Steiner Waldorf-specific background and training of newly hired teachers at the two schools over the three years since recognition, resulting today in the majority of teachers lacking any previous Steiner Waldorf training. In fulfilling this objective, it was found that the value system of Steiner schools can be a useful addition to the options created for the families of Ireland. The general aims of the Primary School Curriculum were found to be in complete accord with those of the Steiner Waldorf approach, and multiple aspects of Waldorf pedagogy were identified which can be employed to deliver the curriculum in a vibrant and creative way.
