Interim Writing Moderation at KS2 – For Teachers New to Year 6 (Centre-Based)
This course will provide an early opportunity for Year 6 teachers to review writing evidence against the 2019 KS2 teacher assessment framework standards to inform next steps in the teaching, learning and assessment process.
Description
Each delegate should bring routine evidence of pupil performance derived from normal classroom practice for three sample pupils who represent the teacher assessment framework standards of WTS, EXS, and GDS as appropriate.
During the full-day course, participants will gain:
* Peer moderation and review of writing across all standards awarded within the national teacher assessment framework
* An understanding of what constitutes independent and effective evidence to ensure consistent and reliable teacher assessment judgements
* An opportunity to reflect on necessary next steps and opportunities needed to ensure a robust end of key stage teacher assessment process
Denise has enjoyed many years working as a qualified teacher in Birmingham. She has taught across the age range in schools, in an Education Action Zone, and in a Youth Offending Unit. As a local authority primary numeracy consultant, she has supported many schools to effectively develop their maths provision, and this continues through her management of the very successful 'Every Child Counts' mathematics interventions, developed and supported by Edge Hill University, which are proven to have a significant impact on underachieving and SEND pupils, as well as on teacher and teaching assistant subject and pedagogical knowledge, classroom, and whole school practice.
Nowadays, Denise successfully delivers the primary statutory assessment contract for moderation and monitoring on behalf of Birmingham LA. She has been instrumental in effectively managing the changes over time to the statutory assessment processes but does not lose sight of the need for schools and teachers to make use of ongoing formative assessment strategies as part of the teaching and learning process to monitor pupil progress. In her statutory role, Denise works closely with other moderation managers both locally and nationally to ensure a consistent understanding of national guidance and related requirements. She recruits, trains, and accredits both KS1 and KS2 pool moderators and utilises her knowledge and understanding of these processes to ensure, through her training offer, that schools are equipped to fulfil their statutory duty confidently.
