Expression of Interest for KS2 LA Moderator

Those wishing to be considered for the post of LA moderator must submit an expression of interest to the assessment team via assessment@norfolk.gov.uk by Wednesday 27th September 2023. The expression of interest should cover the following points:

• Detail of recent and relevant experience of assessment in KS2
• Demonstrable accurate teacher assessment for KS2
• Detail of experience in leading professional discussions and an example of how you have managed a challenging conversation
• Reasons for wishing to join the moderation team – including further information about what you can bring to the team
• Any additional relevant information

It is important that the expression of interest gives a good reflection of the candidate’s personality, skills and experience as this is what is used by the panel of lead moderators to shortlist applicants. In addition, it is important that the candidate has a record of making accurate assessment judgements, reflected in their LA moderation record.

As an LA moderator, you will need to be able to commit to a short meet and greet online session on Tuesday 10th October, and 5 training sessions ( 31st October – all day, 15th January – half day, 26th February – half day, and 22nd May all day).

Successful candidates will also need one half day out of school to complete the STA standardisation exercise (w/c 6th or 13th November), and approximately 4 days of moderation during the first 3 weeks of June 2024. Please note that the STA standardisation exercise date may be subject to change.

Interviews

This year, those candidates who are shortlisted will be asked to attend a short online interview with 2 members of the LA assessment team. The interview should last for 15 – 20 minutes and will enable the assessment team to get to know you further, be assured of your suitability for the role and to ascertain your induction needs. The interviews will take place via Microsoft Teams on Monday 2nd October. Further detail will be sent to you if shortlisted.
