Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and Professional Development Section reflects the Department's view of teacher education as a continuum from initial teacher education to induction and Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
TES promotes the quality of teaching and learning through the provision of quality teacher training programmes, CPD and support for principals and teachers. This is done through the teacher education programmes, education centres and support services for teachers at primary and post-primary level.
The management of this process is supported through steering committees and provision of policy support, as well as liaising with the Teaching Council, the Inspectorate and other sections of the Department on a range of issues.
