“There are two key strands of the Droichead process…. The second strand is made up of additional professional learning activities (Strand B), which involves attendance at NQT cluster meetings…” (Teaching Council, 2017, p.3).
NQTs are required to engage in one different cluster meeting per term for the duration of their Droichead process. NQTs must complete Cluster Meeting 1 (CM 1) before engaging in either Cluster Meeting 2 (CM 2) and/or Cluster Meeting 3 (CM 3). Upon successful completion of CM 1, subsequent cluster meetings must be completed in sequential order.
