New Service Provision for Teachers

The Second Level Support Service (SLSS) extend its gratitude to all of you that supported the work of the service throughout the years since its establishment in 2001. A new cross - sectoral service, the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) will be established in September 2010. The PDST will subsume much of the work of the SLSS. Details regarding this new service will be communicated with schools in due course.

The SLSS is happy to inform you that the resources, materials and functionalities of this website will continue to be available to you in the future.

The SLSS wish you all the very best.
