Getting Started
• Become familiar with the ideas in Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle http://ncca.ie/framework

Consider as a staff
• What do you see as the challenges and
opportunities that a new junior cycle will
present to your school?
• In what ways would you like to develop your
junior cycle?
• How might a new junior cycle support your
shared vision of education?
• Are there particular student needs and
interests that a more flexible curriculum would
address?

Some practical steps
• Establish a small team or number of teams to begin working on aspects of a new junior cycle
• Begin by asking
1. What are we going to do?
2. Who is going to do it?
3. How will we do it (What are the steps involved?)
4. Where can we get help/support?
