Ideas to improve the consistency of OTJs

Team selects one student’s moderation folder that is ‘at’ the standard to take to whole-school moderation. As an extension, repeat the process only bringing the unresolved ones.
Record the independent decisions, both pre- and post-moderation, to track consistency of judgments over time.
Discuss the areas of commonality and differences in OTJ, and the underlying reasoning, and come to agreed understandings.
Record issues relating to curriculum coverage, student achievement, future improvements to moderation processes and decisions made about the moderation process.
Consider the use of students’ e-portfolios for moderation.
Discuss how a new teacher to the school is inducted into the moderation process.
Consider using the Progress and Consistency Tool (PaCT) which was designed to support teacher judgments in relation to the Curriculum’s National Standards. Go to pactinfo.education.govt.nz.
