Partnership Moderation Meeting

Wednesday 6th February 2013

Purpose of this part of the afternoon Discuss the trainees’ current levels of attainment

in relation to the grading criteria across the 8 Teachers’ Standards

In doing so, develop a shared understanding of what is expected in order to satisfy each aspect of the criteria

Identify strengths and targets for each trainee to build upon in the next phases of the course

• Be prepared to justify your decisions

• The shadings can span 2 or more levels

• There is no artificial ‘ceiling’ in terms of the level that can be shaded

• Nobody can ‘fail’ at this stage

• Weaker students will have significant gaps in the level 3 criteria and targets which reflect this

• Complete the summary grid so as to provide an ‘at-a-glance’ picture of the trainee’s current attainment

• It’s not a precise scientific procedure!

• There is no single summary grade at this stage

• Tick or cross the PART TWO box (if you feel unable to do this there will be relevant targets)

• Strengths as well as targets

• Mentor and tutor could jointly agree strengths and targets or identify these independently

• Tutors will have an opportunity to add theirs next Thursday

• Mentors should discuss the TDP with each trainee before the end of this week
