NCCA Website with link to the Senior Cycle Framework document

Meeting Preparation Sheets

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) are currently at an advanced stage in the development of two documents at senior cycle in area of physical education namely

  • Senior Cycle Physical Education (SCPE) Framework – non-examinable
  • Leaving Certificate Physical Education (LCPE) Syllabus - examinable

The SCPE and LCPE have been refined and redrafted over a period of almost two years through a process of deliberation of course committee and Board of Studies level, and now are being put forward by the NCCA for broader consultation by the profession. The first document for consultation will be the non-examinable SCPE Framework only.

As part of this consultation, the PEAI hosted a number of regional meetings and provided a conduit through which practicing teachers can contribute to the process.

What:

The NCCA is currently engaging in a process of consultation regarding the new Senior Cycle Physical Education Framework. The PEAI is supporting the consultation process.

The Framework is the non-examinable curriculum document for Senior Cycle.

Why:

To inform teachers of the proposed new framework design and the elements contained within.

To give teachers an opportunity to voice opinion on the new framework to create the best document possible.

Who:This is open to all qualified teachers of Physical Education.
How:

A presentation will be made which will provide an overview of the framework document. This will be followed by a formal opportunity to discuss and respond.

Feedback from these meetings will be relayed to the NCCA to inform their consultation.

Details of the consultation meetings are available here... This is a unique opportunity for you to respond to and further inform the experience of students in Senior Cycle Physical Education into the future. I suggest that download the framework document prior to the meeting as having pre-read the document will enable an informed discussion and considered feedback on the nights. We the PEAI would greatly welcome your attendance and value your contribution and I look forward to seeing you at your most convenient meeting.
