Today I attended a cluster for moderation.
The session was at St Jo's and I got to sit in one of my previous students desks (it was quite lovely for me!).
The gathering was for my colleagues teaching the same level as me so we could, as a group, try to gain some consistency between our various schools in assessing writing.
It was fun! We all provided samples for the group to score based on the current asTTle marking guide.
Interestingly for our first meeting we were mostly all very close in our marking with the non-majority scoring the mark below or above the majority.
A great result!
I must say I do like the new marking rubric - I think it is practical, has diverse application and provides a more accurate rating of students work.
it is also not to hard to adapt for student consumption.
On a side note - it is stressful for us to attend these things during school time as it means we are all out of our class because we are such a small staff!
