What is PpiT and how does it work?
PpiT was designed around the planning that teachers actually do and is not just another record keeping programme. By linking attainment, targets, age-related attainment and intervention and by actively involving teachers, it really can contribute to improving assessment and raising standards. PpiT produces editable targets, checks them against expectations, helps plan intervention and draws provision maps. It enables very easy analysis of the impact of intervention.
It also produces a variety of ISP (DCSF Improving Schools Programme) style progress grids automatically which is an enormous time saver. Furthermore these grids are interactive, easily enabling the progress of different groups to be analysed. The use of colour makes results easy to interpret and the software attractive to use. Teachers like using it! There is built in help on every page and easy to follow tutorials and guidance can be downloaded from this site by licencees. The tutorials include guidance on proven, practical strategies on how to involve teachers and the roles of SENCOs and SMT.
PpiT is a suite of three programmes. PpiT (TT) is the key programme and provides termly tracking and provision mapping for cohorts over a year. PpiT (YT) is a companion programme that provides yearly tracking. (It is provided as a separate programme because yearly and key stage tracking is the part of the tracking process that still is best managed centrally). PpiT (EYFS) enables schools to chart progress across the Early Years Foundation Stage. Each programme may be purchased separately. PpiT is very flexible in how it can be used, for example teachers can have copies on their laptops.
