Leadership and Management: Reporting and Review

This year, on the same day as each of the Allocation Seminars, we are providing a separate briefing and guidance on conducting the annual review with each post of responsibility holder and the preparation of the principal’s annual report to the board of management on leadership and management in the school.

This briefing will include advice on preparing for the review, conducting the review meeting, setting objectives for the next school year, possible re-assignment, and the principal’s report to the board of management.

As every post holder is required to undertake the annual review with the Principal/Deputy Principal these sessions will be of most benefit to the senior management team.

Allocations Seminars

The seminars will address the principles underpinning the allocation of teaching resources and will enable school management to correctly interpret the schedules.

This is a Q & A session. As in recent years, representatives of the Teacher Allocation Section will attend and JMB staff will be available to meet school management on an individual basis to assist with issues related to teacher allocations.

Those attending should have a copy of (or access to) the school’s DES Staffing Schedule 2019/2020 and associated documentation, including the staffing schedule cover letter which shows vacancies based on the initial allocation

Who should attend?

School principals, chairpersons and those who have responsibility for decisions regarding the curriculum, timetabling and staffing.
