SET / EAL Teacher Cuntas Míosúil Template and Completed Sample

This Cuntas Míosúil pack has been designed to support primary Special Education Teachers (SETs) and/ or English as an Additional Language (EAL) teachers in completing clear, practical and useful monthly records of learning in line with the updated 2026 Preparation for Learning, Teaching and Assessment Guidance.

The Cuntas Míosúil is a record of the learning that has taken place during the month. As outlined in the updated guidance, the Cuntas Míosúil should record the learning that children have progressed over the month, along with the learning experiences that supported this learning. The guidance also notes that a brief reflection may be included where this is helpful.

Some schools may choose to complete their Cuntas Míosúil as part of their short-term recorded preparation. This is perfectly acceptable where it works well for the teacher and the school. Other schools prefer to use a separate Cuntas Míosúil document at the end of each month. This resource has been created for teachers and schools who wish to complete the Cuntas Míosúil as a separate document.

The template included in this pack includes the sections needed for a purposeful monthly record: the new learning progressed, the learning experiences completed, and an optional brief professional reflection.

The completed example is included for demonstration purposes only. It shows how the Cuntas Míosúil may be completed and models an appropriate level of detail, with examples of group withdrawal, individual pupil withdrawal, EAL support and in-class support. All names used are fictional.

Please note that the completed example is provided in non-editable PDF format. It is not designed to be edited or used by teachers as their own Cuntas Míosúil document. Teachers should use the editable blank template provided and complete their own Cuntas Míosúil according to the learning progressed by their own pupils.
