Moderation process 2011-2012

Session 1

Aims of the session

• To moderate Autumn observations with other colleagues for security of judgements

• To use the data to inform planning for priorities, practice and provision needs

• To increase understanding of progress across EYFSP

Attainment on EntryHow do we ensure a secure baseline?• Transition arrangements from

nursery/settings

• Practitioner understanding and use of information from previous settings

• Use of observational assessments to secure judgements no later than the end of the 1st half term

Using previous EYFS assessments

• Translation document

• Age related expectation

• Progress expected

Current Age related advice• Attainment on entry to reception at age four: most children

are likely to demonstrate some of the elements of skill, knowledge and understanding within the development matters band for 40–60+ months, in addition to all of the elements in the preceding band for 30–50 months. This may be referred to as the age-related expectation at the beginning of reception.

• Attainment on entry is likely to be below age-related expectations where a substantial proportion of children in a school has not demonstrated all of the elements in the 30–50 month band.

‘Most’ means the majority or nearly all children. Ofsted’s definition of ‘most’ is 80%–96%.

‘Substantial proportion’ means more than the 20 per cent that might be outside the definition of ‘most’.

Progress in EYFS

Depends on a child’s starting point

What to do next with the baseline

• Look at the information for cohort priority needs. (Any strands lower/higher)

• Use the summary to identify higher and lower achievers

Class Teacher

Pupils working within40 to 60 months scoring 39+ pointsHow will these pupils be challenged and

extended?

Age related

Pupils working towards GLD (26+ and 2+ in all 7 strands of PSE and CLL)

PSED CLL PRSN KUW PD CD

DA SD ED LCT LSL RE WR NLC Cal SSM

Pupils scoring 26+ but not 2+ in all strands.

Pupils scoring below 26 points.

Pupils scoring 0 in identified strands.

Task 1

• Use the paper tracker to plot the 3 children

• Use tracker to inform which children are working at Age related expectation/ below/above

Task 2• Choose 6 Observations on your table

and Label A to F

• Use EYFSP handbook to moderate each child’s observations in pairs

• Record evidence agreed on EYFSP grids

• Feedback from groups

Prepare to bring to next session

• Summative printout for Autumn 2

• Observations for the same 3 children for KUW and PSED (including an extended observation)

• Completed attainment end of Autumn term. On BSO.
