Working in conjunction with the Nottingham and Derby Moderation Teams, all year groups in Derby and Nottingham City had access to moderation workshops and a portal of standards with moderated and annotated examples of y1-6 writing.
Moderation and Exemplification of Standards
In order to drive improvement in writing outcomes, a teacher needs a thorough understanding of the assessment criteria and expectation of standards in the year group in which they teach. They also require a thorough understanding of the curriculum which precedes and follows this year group. It is through a teachers understanding of the expected technical and procedural content that impactful pedagogy can then be developed.
Online Resource Bank
A selection of exemplification resources have been developed and can be found via the Online Resource Bank. This includes ‘Expected in’, ‘Working Towards’ and ‘Greater Depth’ as well as, teacher assessments and different year groups. Videos accompanying the resources have been created and are available on the Priority Literacy YouTube channel.
