Written Example

In the booklets, there is an example of student written work at each level of achievement. In the absence of original student work, these exemplars can be used with/without the rubric for moderation.

Student Work

• Before having shared the resource, give out the unmarked student work to participants to sort by level. Discuss.
• Hand out the student work and the evaluated rubrics for a level. (i.e. A2) Participants are asked to match the rubric to the student work. Discuss.
• Sort the student work into levels, and then compare to the evaluated rubric for discussion.
• Using the blank rubric and the student work, mark the student work and put into levels. Discuss.

Feedback

• Using one piece of student work, ask participants to consider what might be next steps for the student. Compare examples given to the ones suggested in the booklets.
• Hand out the student work and the summary of the student performance/feedback and match.
• Communication on the Achievement chart is made up of three criteria. Draw participant’s attention to the first two criteria (Expression and organisation of ideas and information/ communication for different audiences and purposes). Together, determine how to ensure feedback reflects these two aspects of communication.
• Ask participants what is their intentional teacher move would be within a learning cycle to further develop proficiency and confidence in the student.
• In conjunction with the above suggestion, use the feedback provided to reflect on how effective feedback is contextualized. How is this feedback going to support learner autonomy and metacognition?
