Teaching and Learning for the 21st century (TL21) is a professional learning programme for schools and teachers conceived, established and led since 2003 by the Education Department, Maynooth University (MU). The programme works in partnership with the participating schools, the network of Education Support Centres and the Teacher Professional Learning Section, Department of Education. 
     
    In 2019 the Department commissioned an external evaluation of the programme resulting in the publication of Partners for Progress - A review of Teaching and Learning for the 21st Century (TL21) Conducted by Professor Gary Granville that report recommended an advisory group should be established, with membership from MU, from DoE and from cognate agencies, to work with and to advise the TL21 team.  

    The group was established in September 2020. Current members are: 
    Dr Anthony Malone, Maynooth University 
    Kevin Lohan, Teacher Professional Learning Section, DoE 
    Patrick Duffy, Teacher Professional Learning Section, DoE

    Grúpa Comhairleach TL21

    Is clár um fhoghlaim ghairmiúil le haghaidh scoileanna agus múinteoirí é Múinteoireacht agus Foghlaim san Aonú Céad is Fiche (TL21) a ceapadh, bunaíodh agus stiúraíodh ón mbliain 2003 ar aghaidh ag Roinn an Oideachais, Ollscoil Mhá Nuad (OMN). Oibríonn an clár i gcomhpháirt le scoileanna rannpháirteacha, le gréasán d’Ionaid Tacaíochta Oideachais agus le Roinn an Oideachais.

    Sa bhliain 2019 choimisiúnaigh an Roinn athbhreithniú seachtrach ar an gclár agus bhí Partners for Progress - A review of Teaching and Learning for the 21st Century (TL21) mar thoradh air seo. Curtha i gcrích ag an Ollamh Gary Granville mhol an tuarascáil “gur cheart go mbeadh Coiste Stiúrtha bunaithe, le ballraíocht ó OMN, ón RO agus ó ghníomhaireachtaí gaolmhara, chun obair a dhéanamh le agus comhairle a chur ar an bhfoireann TL21. Ba cheart go gcuirfeadh an Coiste Stiúrtha plean straitéiseach le chéile don chéad Chuid eile de TL21 agus go ndéanfadh sé maoirseacht air chomh maith;

    Bunaíodh an coiste i mí Mheán Fómhair 2020. Is iad na baill ná
