School-based support

Typically school-based support is sought in the following areas:
· planning to introduce the TY programme in the school
· writing the TY programme document
· planning induction programmes for TY students
· teaching and learning methodologies in TY
· assessment methods in TY
· evaluating the TY programme in the school
· resources for courses in TY
· support for a Principal, Co-ordinator or teacher new to TY 

Work with educational agencies/organisations

Some of the work of the support service involves liaison with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment, Department of Education & Skills Inspectorate, Teacher Unions, National Management and Parent bodies.

Work with non-educational agencies and organisations

The service also acts as educational consultant to organisations and agencies who wish to provide course materials for TY.
