Welcome
Junior Cycle for Teachers (JCT) is a dedicated continuing professional development (CPD) support service of the Department of Education and Skills. Our aim is to support schools in their implementation of the new Framework for Junior Cycle (2015) through the provision of appropriate high quality CPD for school leaders and teachers, and the provision of effective teaching and learning resources.
This is our new updated website, designed with feedback from teachers in mind and launched in early 2017. You will find everything you need in relation to CPD for the new Framework right here, and more. JCT is committed to updating the site regularly with information, relevant resources, materials and details of upcoming events. I hope you enjoy browsing our website, and should you have any feedback please let us know!
