Moderation<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Moderation is the way in which practitioners arrive at a shared understanding of standards and expectations. Moderation is also integral to the planning of learning, teaching and assessment. Practitioners moderate assessment judgements by taking account of a sample of evidence from different sources to discuss standards and the progress of learners. This can be done in departments, across the school or as part of the wider learning community. Assessment can also be completed digitally or using physical evidence. The process of moderation is not an activity that happens only at the end of a block or year \u2013 its ongoing.<\/p>\n
