Guest Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 hi all can anyone tell me which 2 areas are the focus for moderation this year. Many thanks Lola
AnonyMouse_7441 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hi Lola, In Derbyshire the focus areas are Mathematical and Physical development. Not sure if this applies everywhere... luluj
Guest Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Think its the same for our LEA in Bristol too . xx
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Depends if your LA is following the cycle from the NAA or doing their own focus. however we have to ensure we do cover all 6 areas evenly.
Guest Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hey, In Staffordshire, we are being moderated on PSRN and PD as well - going for a training session on it next Friday, which as an NQT am hoping will help me understand the exact process of moderation.

Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Does anyone know what it is for Lincolnshire please? Thanks
Guest Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I'm in Lincs and don't know yet. We had PD and PSRN last year and CLL and CD the year before so I'm guessing KUW and PSED but I'm probably wrong!
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 This from my LA The statements that will be the focus of both moderation visits and moderation meetings, during the school year 2008 – 2009, are as follows: Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy Calculating 6 In practical activities and discussion, begins to use the vocabulary involved in adding and subtracting. Shape, space and measures 3 Describes shapes in simple models, pictures and patterns. 9 Uses mathematical language to describe solid (3D) objects and flat (2D) shapes. Physical Development 6 Use small and large equipment showing a range of basic skills. We are also going to include a statement from Knowledge and Understanding of the World which feedback from last year’s moderation indicated a significant number of practitioners find difficult to assess. Knowledge and Understanding of the World 5 Asks questions about why things happen and how things work, looks closely at similarities, differences, patterns and change.
