Year 6: Essential Writing Moderation – a comprehensive guide to making teacher assessments - EXS and GDS - Spring 2025

Aims

A comprehensive guide to making accurate judgements of writing standards and understanding the teacher assessment process.  

This course is ideal for teachers who are teaching Y6 or new to Year 6.

This course, is aimed at giving teachers who have not yet experienced a full moderation cycle, a detailed overview of the statutory national requirements from the ‘Teacher assessment frameworks at the end of Key Stage 2’. 

We will share the same national materials, training exercises and messages that STA deliver to Key Stage 2 writing moderation team as part of becoming Lead Moderators. These are the same training materials that we use to train our fabulous team of Local Authority Moderators.

Session 2 has a focus on EXS and GDS

Overview

Outcomes are that delegates will:

• be fully aware of the Teacher assessment framework for writing at the end of Key Stage 2 and all implications arising from this;
• be confident that their teacher assessment judgements of writing standards will be rigorous, secure and consistent with national standards and expectations.

Pre-course task: Some printing of materials prior to the session would be beneficial for participants (though not compulsory and documents can be viewed on screen). An email of recommended printouts will be sent a few days before the session.

Please note:
This training is ideal for teachers/ leaders who have not recently attended moderators’ training - certainly in the 2023 or 2024 cycles
