Year 6 writing moderation cluster (EXS/GDS) Spring 2023 | Octavo Partnership

Course Date

18 Apr 2023 16:00 – 17:30

Overview

Writing cluster meetings support Year 6 teachers to develop their own teacher assessment judgements and to be able to articulate these through professional dialogue. They provide an opportunity for teachers to standardise their judgements for writing against the teacher assessment framework (using nationally available resources) and to consider their pupils’ writing in relation to these standards.
Meetings will focus on the following standards: EXS and GDS.

The sessions give Year 6 teachers the opportunity to learn about national messages from STA about statutory writing assessments at the end of KS2.

Working in pairs and small groups, teachers will consider different aspects of the TAF and the evidence in their own pupils’ writing. Through dialogue, they will establish a clear understanding of the statutory expectations and share the implications for teaching and learning in their classrooms.

Description

This session is intended to:
• support teachers to have a clear understanding of statutory assessment arrangements for writing at the end of KS2
• support teachers in understanding the KS2 teacher assessment standards for writing
• provide teachers with an opportunity to engage in standardisation and moderation activities
• Develop teachers’ judgements in preparation for writing assessment at the end of KS2

Delegates will need to bring along writing from three pupils who are working at either EXS or GDS standard. They may find it useful to bring the writing of a pupil who they believe may be working on the cusp of the two standards.
