On-Demand Webinar: Recorded Preparation for SET and EAL Teachers

Duration: Approximately 90 minutes.
Format: Online recording to watch on demand.

This is a recording of the live Recorded Preparation for SET and EAL Teachers webinar delivered by Claire from TeachingPlans.ie on 3 September 2026.

Both live presentations of this webinar were completely booked out, and the feedback received from participating teachers has been extremely positive. The recording is now available for teachers who were unable to secure a live place or who would prefer to watch at a time that suits them.

This practical webinar supports Special Education Teachers and teachers providing English as an Additional Language support in understanding and applying the updated 2026 Guidance on Preparation for Learning, Teaching and Assessment.

It begins with an overview of preparation for learning, teaching and assessment, including the relationship between invisible, visible and recorded preparation. It then considers what meaningful and manageable recorded preparation looks like specifically within SET and EAL roles.

The webinar also explores the 2024 Guidelines for Primary Schools: Supporting Children with Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools, the relationship between recorded preparation and the Student Support File, and practical approaches to writing and reviewing Support Plans.
