Looking Inwards through Self-Evaluation

This resource addresses key questions and provides staff with the opportunity to evaluate moderation within their setting while creating an individualised record that reflects their moderation journey

  • Do you plan for assessment when planning learning and teaching?
  • Do you discuss and moderate at the planning stages?
  • Does the assessment and evidence allow learners to demonstrate the application of their knowledge, understanding and skills?
  • What information / evidence of learning do you hope to get from this assessment evidence
  • What does this evidence tell you (and what are the next steps)?
  • Does it reflect breadth, challenge and application?
  • Does it demonstrate application in new and unfamiliar contexts?
  • Does it reflect one of the four contexts of learning?
  • Do you have a range of evidence to support your professional judgements

At each stage of the process, information will align with National guidance and in some instances may include local authority guidance.

At the end of each stage in the cycle, it is recommended that clear expectations and standards for each individual setting are agreed upon in consultation with all staff and documented within the template.

It is advised to use the NCNN logo for sections that we have provided.
