This article describes the role of the support teacher (learning support/resource) in Irish post-primary schools as perceived by a sample of those teachers with particular reference to their role in relation to supporting other teachers in their schools. The methodology used is outlined followed by a summary of the findings and discussion on the implications arising. These findings represent part of a wider research project which investigated a range of issues in relation to inclusion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) at post-primary level. This project was funded by the Research Committee of St. Patrick's College and Church of Ireland College of Education (CICE).
