EPQ: Teacher standardisation November 2024 series (Session 1 of 2)

Course summary

The online EPQ teacher standardisation events will be split into two sessions. This event is session 1, please ensure you are booked onto session 2 separately.

These events are for the November 2024 series only. Please ensure your entries for this series have been processed before selecting your course so we can validate your booking.

The purpose of these free events is to standardise marking using examples of work for EPQ covering the full ability range. Please ensure you have a copy of the specification available when attending these events.

Examples of work will be available to download from Centre Services around one week before the series of events begins. These will also be available to download from the joining instructions email, which you will receive around 10 days before the event. Please read each project before attending the event. It is recommended that you print these out for ease of use during the event.

These online events are for the November 2024 series only and are limited to one place per school/college per series.

Course description

• involves marking student work samples.

Suitable for

Schools/colleges offering a specification for the first time or those whose marks were significantly adjusted by AQA the previous year. If your school/college has a number of supervisors then you may wish for your EPQ coordinator to attend the event, who can then cascade the information to your supervisors.
