Sign up here to be included in the new Clare Education Centre list of teacher substitutes.
Clare Education Centre, formerly known as Ennis Teachers' Centre, has, since 1972, supported the in-service needs of Clare teachers. Since August 2000, the Centre has been located in a new purpose-built complex on the Kilrush Road, Ennis.
The main functions of Clare Education Centre include a requirement to support the in-service needs of the state and to identify and support locally identified needs.
The Centre is part of a group of 21 Full Time Education Centres and nine Centres operating on a Part-time basis supported principally by the Department of Education and Science.
In addition to the functions noted above Clare Education Centre has, in recent years, been involved in Intercultural Projects with Centres in European Union countries.
Please note that 2009/10 Substitute Teachers' database is now available. Teachers wishing to be included should contact the Centre, or enrol online on this site. Schools MUST pre-register their details online BEFORE gaining access to the database (simply follow the link to the database and register; this requires confirmation from the Centre and therefore is not immediate).

Capacity Building – Drama, History & Geography, Visual Arts
We have just been informed of a capacity building programme for tutors in
Drama, History & Geography & Visual Arts
These are being organised by Dublin West Education Centre (DWEC) and the Primary Professional Development Service (PPDS). The purpose of the programmes is to provide sufficient training to a group of teachers that they will be enabled to deliver courses in the autumn, spring and summer schedules of Education Centres in the future and that they will qualify for inclusion on a national database of teacher tutors.
The initiative is intended for teachers who may have delivered some courses already or for those who have not delivered any courses to date but who have a keen knowledge of, an interest in and enthusiasm for the subject and who implement the methodologies of the 1999 Curriculum effectively
