6.3 Teacher Standardisation (Route T only)

We will hold annual standardising meetings for teachers, usually in the autumn term, for the centre assessed units. At these meetings we will provide support in developing appropriate centre assessed tasks and using the marking criteria.

If your centre is new to this specification, you must send a representative to one of the meetings. If you have told us you are a new centre, either by submitting an estimate of entry or by contacting the subject team, we will contact you to invite you to a meeting.

We will also contact centres if:

• the moderation of centre assessed work from the previous year has identified a serious misinterpretation of the requirements,
• inappropriate tasks have been set, or
• a significant adjustment has been made to a centre's marks.

In these cases, centres will be expected to send a representative to one of the meetings. For all other centres, attendance is optional. If you are unable to attend and would like a copy of the materials used at the meeting, please contact the subject team at chemistry-gce@aqa.org.uk
