In the field of Assessment, support can be offered to address the different tiers of the Assessment ranging from classroom AFL to statutory end of key stage assessment practices. Catherine is an approved STA external moderator and approved moderator trainer for both KS1 and KS2.
Consultancy offered:
- Moderation of reading, writing and / or mathematics
Moderation for all year groups across the academic year in reading, writing and mathematics. Schools typically book several sessions across the year to match the assessment points within the school. Sessions are based on one-to-one discussions with individual teachers or year group teams and evidence to support assessment judgements is considered. Next steps and possible teaching and learning points are identified.
