Moderating

Team AsTTLe Moderating

Term 1:
This term we completed the schoolwide  AsTTLe writing assessment based on a descriptive piece of writing. We all completed an initial sort of where we felt the children were after reading each child's work. We then came together as a team to compare and reflect on how we had assessed children based on the marking criteria.

This created great discussion and provided clarity around areas we were feeling unsure about. We all felt like we were marking in a similar and fair way and happy to go ahead and mark the rest of the classes.

Self Reflection: I find the exemplars really helpful and while some of the marking criteria can be interpreted differently I feel confident in marking my classes work fairly. Also our team is really positive and helpful and know I can discuss any that come up as tricky with any team member to clarify.

Class Blog

Room 8 Class Blog

In Room 8 the children are in charge of our class blog. Each week 2 to 3 children sign up for being in charge of the blog post for the week. During the week they get together and decide what they would like to write a post about and let me know if they will  need a photo for the post. They are then responsible for writing up the post and organising anything they may need for it before posting. We then try to share each Friday or Monday.

Term 1: The children are really enjoying taking the responsibility of this and, as it is optional at this stage, there is no pressure on those who aren't comfortable as yet to do this.
