Writing Moderation

On Tuesday Wk 6 T3 teams moderated our marked Hiwi the Kiwi writing samples. 

They were moderated against the Pukete School Writing progressions.

We brought to the team meeting the following:

• A copy of the Pukete School Writing progressions (in the expectations folder)
• Samples of concern (samples that you are not sure of: where they fit) for each class
• 2 samples from well below, below, at and above, and well above (if any) for each class

At the meeting:

We discussed the samples of concern and decided on the best fit. We justified and compared our samples from well below, below etc

From each team, we got one example of a piece of writing from each year level from well below, below, at, above, and well above if there are any. (8-10 samples)

This was a valuable process and I realised that I had been marking my students writing much harder than needed. It showed me how well the majority are doing.
