| The Minister for Education has asked the
National Council for Curriculum and Assessment to revise the subject syllabuses
for the Leaving Certificate programme in the context of the national programme
of curriculum reform currently in progress. This process of revision is
being implemented on a phased basis.
In association with the revised Leaving Certificate English syllabus, these Teacher Guidelines have been developed, through the NCCA course committee, as an aid to teachers in the implementation of the new course. These guidelines are intended as both a permanent resource for teachers and a resource for use in the in-career development programme for teachers, sponsored by the Department of Education. These Guidelines are not prescriptive. They provide suggestions for teachers in relation to teaching practice. Particular attention is paid to aspects of the new syllabus which may not be familiar to teachers, in terms of content or methodology. The Guidelines are published jointly by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) and the Department of Education.
