Seminar Description

Education Scotland is committed to work in partnership with local authorities and all partners to build capacity in quality assurance and moderation approaches.

These approaches will ensure that understanding, applying and sharing standards is embedded in the education system and there is confidence in teachers' judgements. In this seminar the speakers will outline plans to:
  • support the development of national consistency and application of standards 3-15
  • support the consistent development and quality assurance of materials for the National Assessment Resource (NAR)
  • enhance the role of national bodies to support education authorities, schools, colleges and other centres
  • facilitate collaborative approaches between education authorities, schools, colleges and other centres.

The seminar will consider training and development needs and how these will be supported. Participants at this seminar will have the opportunity to discuss the issues raised and share comments for the shaping of future actions.
