Boss your moderation & assessment cycle in school and across your MAT.

Set up a session with teachers in your school as moderators.
The benefit of this is that all teachers get to review work from across the school, improving their understanding of what the quality of writing looks like across the whole school or Key Stage.

Teachers can set up sessions across a partnership or group of schools or simply with a friend or colleague (s) from another school(s). Follow the same process as for internal moderation. Invite colleagues to collaborate with just their email addresses. We’ll send them an email, and all they need to do is link their class(es) into the moderation* as long as you’re all moderating using the same criteria for assessment. You can then moderate across any number of schools, with any number of teachers, all in your time.

*All teachers must have a WeModerate account

If you are interested in looking at the quality of writing across a group of schools or using our moderation app to look at quality and standards in your curriculum across your MAT or a number of schools, we can set up your moderation so that all schools assess using the same built-in criteria, in any subject(s). We can also build in your own exemplars to standardise pupils’ work.

Collaborating across the MAT in this way not only supports all of your teachers in understanding what quality of work looks like across the MAT but also shares the workload of moderation and assessment between teachers.

Set up an event for your department, school, MAT, LA or even between your students. Invite teachers/students in advance. Set moderation themes/genres, upload assessment criteria (or use our preloaded criteria), set upload dates & moderation dates, and a moderation session timetable linked to your monitoring cycle.

So that everyone has a clear idea of the expectations of quality, we’ve already uploaded the exemplars from the DfE for KS2 writing moderation for you to review alongside the descriptions and the uploaded work.

You can upload your own exemplars and your own descriptions for moderation, too.

Leave written feedback for all, some or a select number of pieces of work directly onto the pupil’s grade book. You can even give pointers to moderators based on what sort of feedback you’d find most useful.

You can use the feedback from colleagues to support your next steps in your teaching cycle.

Build an online portfolio of evidence for every student in your class. Identify where each piece meets all or part of the assessment criteria. Our platform has been built so that you can moderate: PDF, PNG, URLs, Powerpoints, Blogs, Excel, Word, MP4s or video files. Store in the gradebook for moderation and evidence of standards being met.

Feedback by tagging the criteria you set for the moderation exercise. Give the work a grade or score. You can also leave ‘text feedback’ that goes back to the class teacher or straight to the student if running a peer-to-peer moderation. All in an instant, stored in the app.

In the gradebook, you can open up all of the moderations from each of the moderators separately. This allows you to see the scoring from each moderator and their marking against each of the criteria giving compelling evidence of where your pupils have met the criteria.

No more waiting around for results for up to 30 days. As soon as the work is moderated it is stored in the gradebook. In the gradebook, you can see all of the criteria judgements, from all of the teachers side-by-side, review the scores/grades given and finally review all of the feedback on the piece of work.  Results in an instant, now there’s a thing.
