2026 Stage 2 Chemistry Marking & Moderation Workshop

Presenters: Peter Steel, Gleeson College

An opportunity for teachers to discuss assessment and the application of the performance standards to samples of work, as well as to have invaluable professional input with their own student samples. An opportunity to readjust marking standards prior to final moderation.

Tasks that will be discussed include the deconstruct and design task, science as a human endeavour investigation and marking of SATs, in particular short answer and extended response questions, including SHE responses.

NOTE FOR PARTICIPANTS:  Please bring examples of your own students' work.

Intended audience: Stage 2 Chemistry teachers

"The session was fantastic, and I felt as though I could ask all questions without judgement from others - it's a great way to network and gain understanding from a range of teachers (in terms of their experience and preferences)." - 2025 attendee
