TeacherInductionNI is your online induction platform brought to you by the Department of Education and built to help you thrive in your first year in the classroom.
4 themes. 15 modules. Learn at your own pace, whenever it suits you.
The Northern Ireland Teacher Induction platform provides a range of short, practical online modules on the Science of Learning, designed to support your professional learning and development throughout your induction journey. Engagement with these modules will help inform your practice and contribute to your action plans within your Induction Portfolio.
How this works.
A simple five-step rhythm, repeated across the year:
Log in anytime
Your course library is open 24/7. Dip in during a free period, on the bus home, or with a cup of tea after school.
Bite-sized content
Each course takes 45-90 minutes. Space the courses out: watch, reflect, try it in your classroom.
Track your progress
Watch your dashboard fill up, module by module.
Discuss with your Teacher Tutor
Use what you've learned as the starting point for your regular Teacher Tutor meetings.
Certification
Complete 15 courses across the 4 modules to support your learning throughout induction and receive certificates of completion for your Induction Portfolio.

Supporting a teacher through induction? Start here.
TeacherInductionNI works best as a partnership. While your Early Career Teachers (ECTs) work sequentially through their courses, you get unrestricted access to all the courses and modules so that you can quickly find and answer discussion points from your ECTs.
