Blue Book Online

The ECC's new version of the Blue Book Online.

A fantastic tool designed for teachers to make portfolio management, professional development planning and appraisal activities simple and straightforward.

This tool has been extensively upgraded:

  • To take account of the new Standards for the Teaching Profession and the Code of Professional Responsibility from the Education Council
  • To help you to consider your teaching practice in the context of the Education Council's latest expectations
  • To save you time and make that time spent more meaningful

The main advantages of the Blue Book Online include:

  • Mobile-friendly! This instant accessibility saves time and hassle - you can upload evidence and documentation from any gadget and link it to the relevant Standard as you go!
  • Easy filing - you can upload text, photos and video!
  • Guidance through a three-tier process that ensures you generate appropriate evidence for your certification / re-certification
  • "Manage Access" - you can invite others to view content and set specified permissions for each user
  • Capability for your mentor / appraiser to view and comment on your progress
  • A separate Appraisal section that clearly showcases your progress as a teacher and how you understand the Standards for the Teaching Profession, specifically signed off by the mentor / appraiser
  • A function for you and your mentor / appraiser to sign off the annual appraisal report, which can subsequently be downloaded and presented to the Education Council and/or your Centre Manager
  • The teacher owns the content
  • Annual subscription for an attractive price

The Blue Book Online will be supported by three separate webinars, each explaining one tier;

  • My Portfolio, 
  • My Plan, 
  • My Appraisal. 

There will also be workshops to show how to use the Blue Book Online effectively for compiling a cohesive portfolio, for inquiries and PD planning, as well as for the appraisal process. Please note that supporting webinars and workshops will be additional to the annual subscription cost.
