Vacancies on NCCA Development Groups – Junior Cycle Maths, Junior Cycle History and Senior Cycle Economics
From time to time vacancies arise on NCCA development groups. Participation on NCCA committees does not in any way alter TUI policy regarding issues such as assessment of new courses, but participation does provide a valuable opportunity for practising teachers and the nominating teacher unions to influence developments in curriculum and syllabi. Each teacher union is usually invited to nominate two representatives to each development group. Each representative will be required to make thoughtful insights in the discussions of the relevant development group, within the context of TUI policy. Representatives are required from time to time to discuss strategy, and meet with, relevant officials from TUI Head Office. Representatives may also be asked to act as exams spokespersons for TUI in the subjects relevant to their expertise. This can involve giving considered feedback to the media and Exams Commission, again within the context of TUI policy.
Correspondence issued recently to schools and centres setting out current vacancies (see below), guidelines for nominees and the nomination form. If you are interested in becoming involved please contact your local branch to obtain their nomination. Applications (marked NCCA development groups for the attention of David Duffy) should reach TUI Head Office no later than noon on November 11th, 2015. It is expected that applicants will be informed of the outcome in late November. It is recommended by the NCCA that applicants not serve on more than one subject development group.
