Primary Principals Inservice Seminars
The NCTE has written to primary schools notifying principals about the NCTE programme of professional development seminars for Principals which is currently running from 25th November 2009 until May 2010.
The aim of the workshop is to provide Principals with an overview of what planning for ICT involves and some practical advice and information on the supports available to you and your teachers in furthering the use of ICT in learning and teaching.
