What is the Professional Development Service for
Teachers (PDST)?
The Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) was established in
September 2010 as a new, generic, integrated and cross-sectoral support
service for schools. The establishment of the organisation was synonymous
with the amalgamation of a number of stand-alone support services which now
operate under the PDST and which continue to provide their services to schools
in the context of PDST’s overall vision and mission.
Vision: The aim of the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) is
to provide high quality professional development and support that empowers
teachers and school leaders to provide the best possible education for all
pupils/students.
Mission: As teacher educators and in developing teachers and school leaders
as reflective lifelong learners , our mission is to provide a range of professional
development experiences and models which support professional learning,
reflection, collaboration and evidence-based practice with a particular
emphasis on:
curriculum, pupil learning and welfare
learning and teaching methodologies
specific supports for school leaders
information and communications technology
school self-evaluation and school improvement.
The overall goal for the PDST is for it to be widely acknowledged as an
innovative, responsive and trusted provider of continuing professional
development and support for teachers and school leaders.
PDST is a support service of the Teacher Education Section of the Department
of Education and Skills and is managed by Dublin West Education Centre.
05
What is an Associate and a Local Facilitator?
Associates
An Associate is a registered school principal, deputy principal, teacher, or a
former school principal, deputy principal or teacher who has maintained his/
her registration with the Teaching Council, who is engaged to work in a part-
time capacity with a support service. Any person who has successfully
interviewed for the position or who has previously worked with the TES
support services over the past 5 years approximately is eligible to be appointed
as an Associate. Associates may work for a maximum of 20 days or 40
interaction units (all programmes/regions combined) which are eligible for
substitute cover. Any payment for hours worked up to 3.5 hours per day is
considered as one unit.
Local Facilitators
A Local Facilitator is a registered school principal, deputy principal or teacher,
or a former school principal, deputy principal or teacher, who has maintained
his/her registration with the Teaching Council, who is engaged to facilitate, or
to collaborate in the facilitation of a limited number of CPD events locally. Local
Facilitators may work for a maximum of 3 days or 6 units for all programmes/
regions combined. Any payment for hours worked up to 3.5 hours per day is
considered as one unit.
06
Who commissions the work?
All work for PDST Associates and Local Facilitators is allocated and managed by
members of the full-time team of the PDST under the direction of PDST
management. Blackrock Education Centre (BEC) manages and monitors all
information and payments for Associates and Local Facilitators. This service is
known as ALFA (Administration for Local Facilitators and Associates) and can be
contacted directly by e-mail at alfa@blacrockec.ie or phone at 01-2365026.
Please Note

agent for payment only.
What type of work is involved?
The continuing professional development role of Associates and Local
Facilitators within the PDST may differ from one sector/region/programme/

How do I claim payment, travel and subsistence?
The Associates and Local Facilitators will send their travel and subsistence
claim forms with any relevant receipts and a copy of their diary for that month
to ALFA in Blackrock Education Centre (See Appendix G).
Please Note
This Associates and Local Facilitators Claim Form for Expenses/Fees (See
Appendix B) should arrive no later than 7 days after the end of the month to
ensure prompt payment.
The details of the submitted Claim Forms are entered into an excel spreadsheet
which is sent to the relevant Team Leader for cross reference and approval
before payment is made. Technical checking (calculation of correct rates) is
undertaken by ALFA at Blackrock Education Centre.
Following approval and processing, the travel and subsistence is paid directly to
the Associates’ and Local Facilitators’ bank accounts, and all documentation is
retained at ALFA in Blackrock Education Centre for audit purposes.
The relevant bank details can be sent to ALFA in Blackrock Education Centre
using the form in Appendix B. See Appendix F for a summary of lecture fees in
addition to travel and subsistence rates; however, for a more detailed overview
of these rates please refer to the Agreement Forms for Associates and Local
Facilitators.
Please Note the following:
An Associate or Local Facilitator will not be required to be located in
an Education Centre. S/he may however, be required to travel to the
local education centre and elsewhere as necessary. Travel and
subsistence will not be payable for travel to the local education
centre.
12
The local education centre or home (whichever is the nearer to the
venue) is the base for the purposes of payment of travel and
subsistence expenses. When detailing journeys in the claim form,
note whether each trip is calculated from ‘Home’ or ‘Base’. Give the
full address of ‘Base’ in the relevant section – this will be the local
Education Centre.
Please complete the distance in kilometres. The rates must be
inserted in the following formats:
It is the responsibility of each Associate or Local Facilitator to
complete the Associates and Local Facilitators Claim Form for
Expenses/Fees in full, including calculating mileage, claiming
appropriate subsistence, etc. For audit purposes, all distances are
checked using Google Maps, so it is advisable to check these out
prior to submission of claims, as deviation from the standard
distances will cause delay in processing. If for any reason it is
necessary to travel by an alternative route, this should be stated in
the accompanying documentation, and the reason clearly outlined,
and the statement should be signed and dated by the Associate/
Local Facilitator. Travel and Subsistence expenses must be submitted
to the relevant administrative base within calendar month of the
work being completed. Late expenses may be subject to an
administrative reduction. This statement will be retained for audit
purposes.
Time of departure and return must be completed on the form, in
addition to any subsistence which is being claimed. (See Appendix F
for an overview of the subsistence rates).
Miscellaneous Expenses cannot be paid and in the event that
additional materials are required by an Associate or Local Facilitator
