Explore the updated Term 4 schedule of workshops and webinars, each designed to help you use PAT to improve learning for every student.
The PAT school engagement team has been hard at work creating events to help educators get to grips with administering PAT assessments and understanding the data they produce. Whatever your experience level, there’s an option to suit you.
Free webinars
Data from assessment is most valuable when it informs classroom practice. Our In the Classroom webinar series takes a hands-on approach to using PAT data.

Find out in these assessment-specific sessions.
