Quality Assurance
Internal and External Moderation
Quality Assurance(Moderation)
Internal moderation by the kaiako is the first check and must be applied to the assessments and practice external assessments
Schools must report only those results which have been subject to the school’s internal moderation process…NZQA Assessment Rules 6.4
External moderation is the final check for a proportion of assessment
Schools submit assessment materials and randomly selected student work to specialist moderators.
NZQA requirements for internal moderation
Results reported to NZQA should be the work of more than one professional.
•Critiquing (first set of eyes) Modify publicly-available tasks. Critique all assessment materials before use
Critiquer must understand standards-based assessment, but doesn’t have to be a subject specialist

NZQA requirements for internal moderation
Results reported to NZQA should be the work of more than one professional.
Verification (second set of eyes) Verify an adequate sample of the grade
judgments for all standards Verify at grade boundaries Make consistent judgements across multiple
classesVerifier should be another subject specialist with
standard and curriculum knowledge
How internal moderation can work
Single subject teacher moderating in a virtual cluster (VLN)
Single teacher moderation in a face-to-face cluster
Single teacher with national subject expertise
Single teacher in a larger faculty verifying grades in a cluster (eg Technology)
Subject department containing experienced and inexperienced assessors
What is external moderation?
NZQA moderates a small sample of internally assessed standards in schools
External moderation provides evidence that the schools internal moderation is robust and ensures credible assessment at the national standard
It is a ‘snap shot’ of assessment that has taken place for a particular standard
