Need for research in Irish context esp in relation to progress of students after completing RR. Do they maintain gains? Is the follow-up strong enough.

Practical guidance - who provides the guidance? NCCA? PDST? NEPS? NCSE? Education Centres. Schools may be overwhelmed with all of the different groups. Some interventions are not widely known among class teachers (only among special ed teachers) which is problematic.

Since the new Strategy is likely to span a decade. it would be important resources etc. on a regular basis.

Collaboration / sharing to ensure continuity of approach. It was suggested that professional learning communities across local schools (perhaps coordinated by Education Centres) could be organised. It was also suggested that the DE issue a diary with regular updates and links to inform schools and teachers of new developments in literacy and numeracy.

CPD must respect class contact time. When is the best time to do CPD? During the school day?
