N2 - Much research has been done on how best teachers' professional development can be supported. However, for it to be effective, CPD provision needs to target the right content areas or topics. Planning for such provision is normally undertaken by providers with a role in supporting professional development across both sectors, i.e., primary and post-primary. It raises the question as to what differences and similarities may exist between the priorities of teachers across both sectors. The current study shows that certain commonalities exist across both sectors - pedagogical content knowledge, technology, and assessment. However, the study also reveals some sectoral differences.
