SET Cuntas Míosúil Generator for Special Education Teachers

Built for the reality of SET.

The SET Cuntas Míosúil generator creates an editable SET Cuntas in minutes. It is structured around how support actually happens: in-class support, withdrawal, small groups, individual sessions, across multiple class levels, in literacy, numeracy, social and emotional development, regulation, and communication interventions. You review, you tailor, you finalise.

What is a SET Cuntas Míosúil?

A SET Cuntas Míosúil is the monthly progress record used to document learning and support provided by a Special Education Teacher. Rather than following a mainstream subject-by-subject layout, it may be organised around support settings, priority learning areas, relevant targets, interventions, and learning observed during the month.

The SET Cuntas can connect with Student Support Plans, but it does not replace an individual child’s Student Support File or Student Support Plan.

The SET Cuntas Míosúil generator’s practical structure reflects the 2026 guidance’s emphasis on the learning children progressed and the experiences that supported it, while recognising how SET provision is commonly organised in schools.

Can the SET Cuntas Míosúil template be reused each month?

Yes, and this suits the nature of SET work. Support plans are reviewed termly, and progress on priority targets is often gradual, so the shape of your provision changes slowly across the year rather than resetting every month. Many SET teachers therefore generate a Cuntas two or three times a year, at the points where their groups or targets genuinely change, and update it themselves month to month in between.

Because the generator produces an editable document built around your priority learning areas, targets and interventions, it gives you a strong, curriculum-linked framework to work from. Oide’s SEN planning guidance is clear that SET planning should link to the curriculum: for example, that Primary Language Curriculum learning outcomes are differentiated to the pupil’s stage, and that the monthly record captures the teacher’s professional judgement of the learning progressed.

Buy the SET Cuntas Míosúil once a term, update it monthly using the editable version you will receive.

We would rather give you a genuinely reusable, curriculum-linked framework that reflects how SET work actually moves than have you pay for a new document every month.

Professional language for SET monthly records

Support work is not a lesson-by-lesson diary. The generated cuntas uses professional, objective language that reflects ongoing support and development: concise, neutral, and appropriate to the record.

Designed to work without pupil names

The form does not ask for pupil names or a school name. Teachers use neutral child or group identifiers and should not enter diagnoses, assessment reports or other identifiable personal information. The generator is designed to produce the document without requiring that information.

Built around current Irish guidance

The generator is designed around the national emphasis on recording the learning that progressed and the experiences that supported it. It also reflects the realities of SET provision and the importance of connecting support with relevant Student Support Plans.

Teachers remain responsible for checking that the final document is accurate and reflects the support and learning that actually occurred.

Built by a practising primary teacher

TeachersTech was founded by Ciarán Donnelly, a practising Irish primary school teacher who began his teaching career in special education. The SET generator was developed around the realities of support teaching, teacher professional judgement and the need to protect pupil privacy.

Frequently asked questions about the SET Cuntas Míosúil

What should a SET Cuntas Míosúil include?

A SET Cuntas records the support provided and the learning that progressed during the month. It is commonly organised around support settings, priority learning areas, interventions and learning observed, rather than a mainstream subject-by-subject layout. A brief professional reflection or next step may be included where useful.

Can I reuse the SET Cuntas template each month?

Yes. SET provision changes slowly, since support plans are reviewed termly and progress on targets is gradual. Many SET teachers generate a Cuntas two or three times a year when their groups or targets change, and update it themselves month to month in between. Each completed Cuntas must still accurately reflect the support delivered and learning observed that month.

Do I enter pupil names into the SET Cuntas generator?

No. The form does not request pupil names or a school name. Use neutral child or group identifiers and do not enter sensitive or identifiable information. Follow your school’s data-protection policy when storing and using the completed document.

Is the SET Cuntas available in Irish?

Yes. You can generate the SET Cuntas in English or in Irish. Select Gaeilge on the form and the document is produced trí Ghaeilge.

Does a SET Cuntas replace the Student Support Plan?

No. The SET Cuntas is a monthly record of support and learning. It can connect with Student Support Plans and targets, but it does not replace an individual child’s Student Support File or Student Support Plan.

How long does the SET Cuntas take to arrive?

The editable draft is emailed to you, typically within about 30 minutes of completing the form.

Can I receive it in Microsoft Word or Google Docs?

Yes. The Cuntas arrives as an editable document you can open and finalise in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
