EPQ: Teacher standardisation November 2019 series

Course summary

The purpose of these free events is to standardise marking using examples of work for EPQ covering the full ability range.

Each event:

• considers assessment criteria;
• affirms assessment standards;
• discusses coursework administration;
• involves marking student work samples.

Examples of work will be available to download from the Secure Key Materials (SKM) area of e-AQA around two weeks before the series of events begins. It is recommended that you read these before attending, but it is not mandatory.
