E-asttle Moderation

Writing Moderation with Mentor




At the end of Term 3, students undertook their second e-asTTle writing assessment for the year. As the classroom teacher, I undertook the marking of all students writing (narrative) first. Through collaboration and discussion with my mentor, she was given one writing e-asTTle assessment for my high, middle and low, and made a judgement of where she believed they were at in accordance to the rubrics.

I have found moderation to be effective, as it gives both the moderator and marker an opportunity as into why they have been given that mark.
