PIVATS Webinars:

Designed and recorded to be run as staff-meeting/INSET session(s) the following training videos are available to purchase:

• "An Introduction to PIVATS 5"
• "An Introduction to PIVATS PSED"

The staff-meeting/INSET session(s) typically have a duration of 1½ hours and 2½ hours, depending on whether the practical activities, which are included as part of the accompanying training pack, supplied with the webinars are used.

The recommendation is that a SENDco, or a member of SLT, leads the webinar and is responsible for pausing and restarting; initiating discussions and facilitating feedback etc. The impact of the webinar will be maximised if delivered in this way.

The training pack provided to support the webinars contain a document of all of the slides of which the webinar is comprised. It is probable that staff will benefit from having hard copies of this on which to take notes, although it may be that you prefer to do this electronically in your setting. However, it is highly recommended that colleagues have hard copies of the PIVATS examples and PIVATS indicators in order to practise assessing learning against PIVATS criteria.

Please note that due to the cost implications, the webinars are stored on a restricted area of YouTube. The parent company of YouTube are Google, therefore to grant access to the webinars links we require g-mail address to be provided for this purpose.
