Phase 3: Collecting evidence of student learning
There are a number of ways to collect evidence:
- Decide on number of samples of assessments to be moderated at a session.
- Decide how these samples will be selected. This could be samples of work assessed to be in the high range, mid range, and low range in relation to the success criteria, or every fifth student on the class roll, or it could be samples of work that teachers are unsure how to assess.
What is collected?
- For a piece of writing: student writing samples are mainly used.
- For moderating a reading or maths task: the task, text, and questions the student responded to may be used, along with notes of student questions.
- For administration of an assessment tool: this could be a student’s running record and the associated teacher analysis, or a video tape of a teacher administering a running record.
