This approach is guided by Learning Leaders, the DE Strategy for Teacher Professional Learning (2016), putting teachers at the heart of their own professional learning journey.

Making self-evaluation and school development planning meaningful, manageable and impactful

The aim of this programme is to deepen your understanding of school development planning as a process, underpinned by the school’s strong guiding vision and purpose, informed by rigorous self-evaluation and educational research, devised in consultation with stakeholders and in compliance with DE policy. 

Participants will attend two half-day face-to-face workshops, facilitated by Education Partners, in which they will be invited to explore themes relevant to self-evaluation and planning for improvement, considering how they can be applied in the context of their school. 

The core themes covered in the workshops are designed around a series of questions as follows: 

Rationale – Why do we need a school development plan and what needs to be in one?  Self-evaluation – How do we develop a robust evidence-base of all aspects of school life, upon which to build a manageable, meaningful school development plan which positively impacts on our pupils and their outcomes?  Prioritisation – What are the challenges and opportunities we face and what are our emerging priorities over the next three years?  Planning for Improvement – What are the characteristics of effective planning for improvement? 

Each workshop will provide opportunities for professional dialogue and the sharing of practice, approaches and resources that can be used by schools to enhance their existing self-evaluation and improvement planning processes and structures. These sessions are intended as a starting point for participants to consider exploring and developing one or more of the above themes in more detail, which they may wish to pursue with their designated Education Partner. Participants will attend both sessions and take their thinking back to share with colleagues in their schools. .

Please note: This programme is available to ALCs or individual schools and can be accessed through the school's Education Partner or ALC Link Officer.

Just2easy Back to School Training Day - August 2026

Join the Just2easy team for an immersive, hands-on Back to School training day. 
 
Whether you’re new to Just2easy or already confident in using the Just2easy Toolsuite, this session will provide practical ideas, fresh inspiration, and valuable skills you can take straight into the classroom. Throughout the day, we’ll explore how Just2easy can be used progressively from Foundation Stage right through the Key Stages, helping to build pupil independence and confidence with technology. 
 
We’ll focus on the key teacher tools within Just2easy, showing you how to confidently create and manage digital portfolios to capture and celebrate pupil progress. You’ll explore how the Shared Classroom can enable collaboration and provide meaningful opportunities for pupils to showcase their work, including with other schools. We’ll also look at how to use the Staffroom to share resources and ideas with colleagues, alongside practical guidance on organising and managing files effectively. In addition, we’ll demonstrate how the Parent Portal can be used as a powerful tool to strengthen home–school communication and keep families engaged in their child’s learning. 
 
We’ll also explore how pupils can use Just2easy tools to create presentations, digital artwork, animations and coding projects in creative and purposeful ways. You’ll see how these link directly to the curriculum, ensuring ICT is meaningful and relevant across subjects, while supporting pupils to independently access the tool suite and manage their own files—building confidence, organisation and digital independence. 
You’ll leave feeling confident and inspired, with plenty of practical ideas—and lots of opportunities throughout the day to ask questions and get support along the way.

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE)

Child sexual exploitation (CSE) is a type of sexual abuse. It happens when a child or young person is coerced, manipulated or deceived into sexual activity in exchange for things that they may need or want like gifts, drugs, money, status and affection. Children and young people are often tricked into believing they're in a loving and consensual relationship so the sexual activity may appear consensual. This is called grooming and is a type of abuse. They may trust their abuser and not understand that they're being abused. CSE does not always involve physical contact, and can also occur through the use of technology.

Join us to understand CSE, and how to support a pupil and their parents/carers once it is known that CSE is suspected or confirmed.

Power to Change. Ending Violence Against Women and Girls

The ‘Power to Change Campaign’ is part of the NI Strategy to End Violence Against Woman and Girls (VAWG). The campaign was launched by the PSNI in January 2025 in collaboration with the Department of Justice and the Executive Office.  The recorded webinar and the learning resources provided for use with staff and young people are designed to fit in with the preventative curriculum.  The aim of the campaign is to invite and encourage all men and boys to check and change their attitudes, beliefs and behaviours towards women and girls; to challenge their peers, and to have the confidence to step in safely to put a stop to behaviour that might put their friends at risk of offending. The campaign also hopes to instigate conversations about the influence of social media – and help to educate about the powerful algorithms that are behind the pushed microdoses of misogynistic and harmful messaging.

The webinar was hosted on MS Teams and introduced by Therese Moran (CPSS).  It is delivered by Lindsay Fisher (PSNI Detective Superintendent and  PSNI lead for the campaign), with an input from Jane McCarthy from The Executive Office.
