To support CNSs with the teaching and learning of GMGY, Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI), in conjunction with the GMGY Coordinators’ and CNS Principals’ Network Groups, have developed an Implementation Plan for the curriculum. This page contains all necessary information and professional learning materials to support the Implementation Process.

GMGY Implementation Reports
Professional Learning
Through the GMGY Implementation process, schools will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of professional learning opportunities. CNS teachers, coordinators and principals can access information and materials for all GMGY professional learning experiences below.
All Teachers
As part of the GMGY Implementation process, CNS teachers are provided with dedicated time to prepare for teaching and learning in the patrons’ curriculum. This time aims to enable teachers to put what they have learned from GMGY Webinars into practice.
For preparation supports specific to any of the four strands, please visit the “Support Materials”.

Long Term Planning
A central component of effective professional development is sustained opportunity to reflect on the processes of learning, teaching and assessment. Furthermore, the ability to reflect on professional practice is a key element in the behaviour of effective teachers and leaders.
As such, time to meaningfully reflect on each of the four strands in GMGY has been provided in the context of GMGY Implementation.
In most cases, reflection will be facilitate locally in schools by GMGY Coordinators. However, recognising the limitations of facilitating reflection in small Community National Schools, ETBI facilitates a GMGY Reflection for Small CNSs at the end of each term.
