Allocations and operation/application and deployment of SEN resources

JMB will this year present two seminars in eight venues around the country.

Two Seminars, One Day

 1. Staffing Allocations 

This session will provide an overview of the allocations process, how the allocation is arrived at for your school, completing returns for the DE, redeployment, EAL, allocation for new subjects and examples of eligibility for CIDs.  Individual consultations with JMB staff will take place after the seminar as required.  We are delighted and very appreciative that Mr Gabriel Martin, Department of Education, with overall responsibility for allocations will attend and speak at each seminar.  This session is primarily aimed at principals, however deputy principal’s or those involved in timetabling are also welcome.  

2. The operation/application and deployment of Special Education Teacher resources

Mr Patrick Kelly, Specialist Lead – Post Primary Education and Curriculum, National Council for Special Education will present this seminar and discuss how best school can operate and deploy the SEN allocation to comply with good practice and Circular 0064/2024. Particular reference will be made to the timetable and the acceptable use of SEN   hours. It will provide an overview and discussions on the Continuum of Support Framework, clarification of roles, student support files, student support plan, effective planning and co-ordination.
