A leadership development programme for principals with a minimum of five years’ experience

Meitheal is a participant-led leadership development programme that is responsive to the individual professional needs of school principals. It draws upon the skills and techniques associated with coaching. A skilled facilitator works collaboratively with small groups (4 – 6 participants) using a developmental model to enhance leadership skills.

The Meitheal programme runs over a two-year period. The group typically meets each year for four sessions lasting approximately two hours. Each group will agree the date and time of these sessions.

When you visit the site for the first time you will be asked to register (green highlighted box) this involves entering your surname, date of birth (follow the order for the DOB using the drop down menu, click on month, then year, then date) and Teaching Council number. The site will cross-reference your details with the Teaching Council register. If a teacher tries to log in with different details (e.g. use of maiden name instead of marriage name; Irish version of a surname), the system will not recognise it as it is not compatible with the details on the Teaching Council register.  Please ensure that the details you enter are exactly as they appear on the register.  You can consult the Teaching Council Register at : http://www.teachingcouncil.ie/en/Registration/Register-of-Teachers/Search-the-Register/ to search for your exact details.
