Ní mór do Mhúinteoirí Nua-Cháilithe freastal ar chnuaschruinniú amháin (a bhaineann lena n-earnáil féin, bunscoile nó iar-bhunscoile) in aghaidh an téarma, in ord seicheamhach, ar feadh a bpróiseas Droichead. Is fóram é gach cnuaschruinniú inar féidir le MNCanna próiseas Droichead agus cleachtas gairmiúil a phlé agus soiléiriú a lorg ina leith. Spreagtar MNCanna chun ceisteanna a chur, treoir a lorg, machnamh a dhéanamh ar dhúshláin ar leith agus scéalta ratha, smaointe agus eispéiris a roinnt. Is Comhalta, a bhfuil taithí acu, a dhéanann éascaíocht ar chnuaschruinnithe agus tugann siad tacaíocht — idir ghairmiúil agus phearsanta — do MNCanna. Cothaíonn an cur chuige comhfhoghlama seo caidrimh ghairmiúla, muinín agus inniúlacht. Is gá do MNCanna a riachtanais maidir le cnuaschruinnithe a bhaint amach de réir Fhéilire Chnuaschruinnithe Droichead 2024.2025.
NQTs must complete one cluster meeting (specific to their route, primary or post-primay) per term in sequential order for the duration of their Droichead process. Each cluster meeting is a forum where NQTs can discuss and seek clarification about the Droichead process and professional practice. NQTs are encouraged to ask questions, seek guidance, reflect upon particular challenges and share successes, ideas and experiences. Cluster meetings are facilitated by experienced Associates and provide avenues of both professional and personal support to NQTs. This shared-learning approach builds professional relationships, confidence and competence. NQTs must complete their full cluster meeting requirement in line with the Droichead Cluster Meeting Calendar 2024.2025.
