Moderating teacher judgements

Moderating teacher

judgements…Moderation is a collaborative process undertaken in a supportive professional environment that:

• focuses on achieving consistency, comparability and consensus about the standard of student work

• engages teachers in professional dialogue focusing on the extent to which an achievement standard is evident in a piece of student work

• enhances teacher professional judgement• occurs formally and informally throughout the year.

Moderating teacher

judgements…This process helps:

• develop shared interpretations of the achievement standards and expectations of what constitutes achievement of the standard

• develop reliability in making judgements• strengthen the value of teachers' judgements• to ensure that judgements applied across a body of

evidence to be used for reporting purposes are fair and comparable.

Moderating teacher

judgements…Intraschool moderation would typically occur regularly as teachers reflect on and plan for future student learning. Interschool moderation occurs at least once per year.

Prior to interschool moderation activities teachers should engage in intraschool moderation dialogue about the standard of student work samples that are to be shared at interschool meetings.
