Moderation of Assessment

Today our teachers will take part in Cluster Moderation Sessions from 3.30 p.m.   These sessions involve nearly 400 teachers, from all across Brisbane, meeting at different venues, in year level groups to moderate samples of student writing.

The aims of today’s session, amongst others, will be:

• To cultivate open and rich professional dialogue amongst teachers.
• To foster a better understanding of assessment, and overall judgements.

In addition, New Farm teachers meet every term, in year level teams, to compare assessments and refer to samples provided by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority.

We value these moderation opportunities, both at a school and Cluster level, as they ensure the validity of our teacher judgements.
