Writing Moderation

In term 1 all school gather a writing sample from their students. The Literacy leaders form the schools came together today to moderate the samples. This is a time for them to work together and share their understandings of expected levels in writing. Not only does it aim at developing consistency of teacher decisions when marking writing, but it also leads to a better understanding of the progressions and in turn interpretation of learner strengths and needs.

The literacy leaders then return to their schools and carry out the same process with their staff to further develop within school capabilities.

Further information is available here about moderation and here about e-asTTle writing.
