Welcome to the Regional Training Unit
"When leaders stop developing so also do their staff and when staff stop learning so also do their pupils"
These are the sentiments which motivate the work of the Regional Training Unit, the education service's Leadership and Staff College, in Northern Ireland. In recent times RTU has been the focus of scrutiny from visiting teacher educators and policy makers from as far away as Sri Lanka and as close to home as the Republic of Ireland and England and other European Union countries each interested in RTU's unique role (in European terms) as a developer of current and future education sector leaders.

Deepening School Leadership
Deepening School Leadership is designed as part of the Regional Training Unit's provision for Emergent Leaders in the context of schools in Northern Ireland. It is mainly focused on the continuing professional development of those teachers who have leadership responsibilities in a group or groups of other staff but are not yet at the level of Senior Leaders in the school. The materials may also be navigated in ways that would support school leaders with a variety of roles and levels of experience.
It complements the support given through the Steps into Leadership programme and assist those who will in the near future enter the Senior Leadership Pathways programme.
