Moderation - what it is and how is it being done

What: After a staff meeting topic discussion based on Moderation, I completed my own inquiry to find out more about what resources are available to assist educators with moderation.  I found my way to TKI and a range of resources that the MOE used that are aligned with the PACT tool.  These are the series of Frameworks used  with the PACT tool to make OTJ's.

So what:  I read lots and viewed a range of illustrations used to make OTJ.  The one aspect I took away from this was that as an educator I need to ensure that I provide tasks and teaching and learning that enables students to prove that can do an aspect of the different reading, writing and maths standards at that point in time.  The illustrations, found on TKI and within the PACT tool as as additional resources in the OTJ workshop resources provide a variety of different ways teachers can do this.  I also found that these are small tasks that can provide a wealth of evidence or multiple aspects of a standard.

Now what: to look into these more and to use them to guide my planning.  I would like to learn more about the Frameworks and PACT tool.
