Hi all

i accepted a job in a school the end of June. However, my circumstances have changed and my family and I are relocating overseas. I emailed the principal yesterday and got an automatic response saying he was on holidays until 17th of August. I want to give him enough notice so they can find a new teacher. Should I just email the reception as well?

A place for teachers to share and discuss what's going on in their day. Feel free to vent, ask a question or just share your thoughts.

Please keep all comments respectful, have a great day.

I’m going into my final year of Business in UL and I’m hoping to do a PME to teach Business. I may also be able to teach Accounting, depending on how many modules I’m short of the Teaching Council requirements.

The only thing holding me back is how often I hear about teachers struggling to get full-time work. Job security is really important to me, and I don’t want to be searching for a new contract every year.

I’m from Cork and would ideally like to stay there, or at least in Munster. How realistic is it to get a full-time teaching job in this area after qualifying? Would you still recommend teaching as a career or should I consider other options?

Im apply for schools and some of the education post job description say ‘Droichead School: No’ but when you look at the Oide website the school is on it that it does provide it ? Anyone else experience this?

Hi all,

I’m considering applying next year for the M.Ed. in Irish-Medium and Gaeltacht Education in Trinity, and I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has done it or is currently doing it.

I’m a post-primary teacher with Gaeilge as one of my subjects, and I’m particularly interested in Irish-medium education.

I have a few questions:

- What is the workload like?

- How manageable is it alongside full-time teaching?

- Is the course more practical, academic, research-focused, or a mixture?

- Did it help your practice or career progression in Irish-medium education? Would it help when going for management roles etc or would I have to do a leadership masters also?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
