A Webinar with David Blow: Grading in ML examinations
2024-05-21 20:00 - 21:00 | Zoom
To Register, please follow this link to Ticket Tailor.
SESSION INFORMATION
This webinar will cover the principles behind the allocation of grades by Ofqual and the exam boards to GCSEs and A-levels in all subjects in this era of “comparable outcomes, and unpick common misconceptions (and consequent risks for misleading information/people) about raw marks, grade boundaries, etc.
It will look at ML (Fr, Gn, Sp) grading, and the longstanding and ongoing issue of “severe grading” at both GCSE and AL, and highlight changes which have been made, and the further changes which are needed, some 50 years on from it first being identified!
With the forthcoming new GCSEs in Fr, Gn, Sp, it is crucial that teachers, senior leaders and others have an accurate understanding of how grading will work, and the differences and similarities with its operation for the current GCSEs
SESSION PRESENTER
David Blow is an Executive Head and ALL Fellow who has worked for many years with ASCL and CST analysing and explaining exam data, and in particular, highlighting the issue of severe grading and pushing for changes.

All trainee teachers from all sectors (primary and secondary) are invited to come along to this free event to find out about The Association for Language Learning, an independent professional language association which puts you in touch with other teachers, keeps you informed, and is invited to national-level consultations.
This is above all a ‘social’ event (with some refreshments!) allowing you to meet up with London-based student teachers who are planning to become teachers and the enthusiastic volunteers who organise regular ‘get-togethers’ for teachers. After a short ‘ice-breaking’ activity which will ensure you meet up with other students, teachers will share their ‘Top teaching Tips’ (relevant for primary , secondary and a range of languages) and Committee members will tell you about ALL and what is being planned for the year. There will be a booklet of Teaching Tips from the Committee, a chance to find out what London-based language institutes can offer you, and refreshments. What more could you want?!
Arrive any time from 4.30 pm for a 5 pm start. We aim to conclude by 6.00 pm. Please sign up here on Ticket Tailor to help with our catering and printing. We look forward to meeting you!
Please note that we have limited capacity. Please sign up in advance to attend. Please help us by letting us know in advance if you cannot use the ticket so that others are not disappointed. Thanks for your cooperation!
