About This Event
In this webinar, we will discuss the use of No More Marking’s Comparative Writing tool and look at how it is being used at Harrow Shenzhen.
There will be a brief introduction to Comparative Judgement from Daisy Christodoulou MBE, Director of Education at No More Marking and author of several best-selling books on assessment.
We will look at why comparative judgment has higher reliability and consistency compared to traditional methods of writing moderation.
The aim of the session is to get an understanding of comparative judgment as a moderation tool and, finally, to propose an AISL wide writing moderation for schools wishing to take part.
This course could be of interest to Pre-prep and Prep teachers and leaders.
