Best practice workshops

[Kerry Parker and Andy Price]

Kia ora koutou

You may know that NZQA has now appointed a full-time moderator for Physics: he is a very well-respected colleague, Lyall Prestidge (Physics teacher at Tawa College for....ages!).  NZQA is running a series of Best Practice Workshops to be run by National Moderators in all subjects (and Lyall will be running the Physics one).   Lyall has asked me to mention these meetings on this list-serve:

"The first two Physics meetings are in Wellington, April 22, and Auckland West, April 23.
The focus is on helping teachers clarify their understanding of grade boundaries of internally assessed standards and to engage in professional discussion. For Physics this is likely to include discussion of 90774 (3.1), 90252 (2.1), and 90180 (1.1) and issues around their assessment, among other things.

"The BPW are advertised in the Gazette, http://www.edgazette.govt.nz/Notices/Notice.aspx?NoticeId=612409 and I think school PNs are being encouraged to inform teachers. The more teachers we can get to come, the better the national standard of Physics teacher assessment is likely to become. "
