Faculty+procedures


 * FACULTY PROCEDURES**
 * 1. Setting of assessment tasks**
 * Please see the "Setting and Marking Schedules" posted on the faculty noticeboard to check which tasks you are responsible for setting.
 * The Board requires two weeks notice, however, we aim to give students the maximum amount of time possible to prepare. Notification normally occurs 4-6 weeks before the task is due. Teachers in the year group should meet to discuss the task before the teachers responsible begin working on the task.
 * The task needs to meet the outcomes and modes as set out in the assessment schedule for 2012.
 * The teachers responsible for setting the task need to complete the Assessment Checklist. This is available in the Assessment Folder in MMC's office.
 * Once the task is in its draft form, it should be submitted to MMC and passed around to other teachers in the year group for discussion. In the case of Stage 6 tasks, the assessment also needs to be checked by BTI.


 * 2. Marking and feedback**


 * The teachers responsible for marking should conduct a pilot marking session as soon as possible. Once marking is well underway, a second meeting should take place to discuss how marking is proceeding.
 * Teachers must mark to the criteria for the task and provide feedback accordingly. Some written feedback is expected.
 * Markers are then to coordinate the type of feedback given to the whole year. Feedback should be stored in the KLA drive in the relevant year group.
 * Samples of A- E range are required to be stored in the KLA drive.

The markers responsible need to attain up to date rolls from *Denbigh* and record marks. Please photocopy and give one copy to the teacher and put one in the markbook in MMC's office. MMC will enter marks in the computer. It is also wise to enter all marks into your teacher chronicle.
 * 3. Recording marks**

Each semester, two AFLs are required to give the students a class grade. In 2012, the AFLs will be planned at the beginning of the year. The primary aim of AFL is to give students meaningful feedback on their progress. AFL marks are to be stored in teacher's individual chronicles.
 * 4. Assessment for learning**

Interim and semester reports are completed at St.Leo's. Interim reports are comprised of a student tick-a-box profile, whilst semester reports also contains marks/ grades in relation to outcomes.
