BTEC EDEXCEL Moderation visit: Wednesday 21st MAY AM

What you need to have done:

YEAR 13
Set out all your work from ONE chosen project (by tutors) and your FMP
in the gallery as professional as possible (using appropriate formats) by Friday 19th MAY.
All work neatly and clearly labelled and titled.
Design Brief, Plans and Assessment plans all completed and printed.
All work completed for 10 of the set units (not including FMP).

YEAR 12
All your current and past work is together, neat and accessible. Also make sure that C10 is tidy and looking like a working, busy and creative environment. Each of your spaces needs to be tidy and presentable. there may be points where I may have to put my hands on some of your work to prove to the assessor that I know what levels each of you are on and achieving. We want to show you in the best light possible.

What do you need prepared:

YEAR 13
Be prepared incase the moderator wants to talk to you about your art work. He may even want to look at all other projects and any other work. Make sure you have access to it all, it is in a relevant order and you know what each piece of work is about.

YEAR 12
The Moderator is very interested in art and therefore may want to view work that is being done or has been completed by any student in Year 12 groups. Be prepared to talk about any of your own work and also be able to place your hand on any of your work if he requests it. He will want to see that your tutors are able to assess your work at the correct levels.

The Moderator will view the work in the gallery on his own, therefore the tutors will not be there to guide him, point out the best bits or even explain what things are about. Once he has finished doing this, he will need to access EDEXCEL online in order to enter his comments and outcomes of his assessment, he has done this in C10 (up until now) so he will need a place to concentrate and focus- it is good idea that you are ALL working, focusing and quite when he is in the room, so that he can in fact concentrate. Lee and I will be in there but I would advice NO music or even messing around! (I think this is obvious). The Moderator will not be in College for very long, but when he is here he needs to get the best impression as possible, which I do not doubt you cannot do.

Finally this is nothing to be worried about, if anything he is coming to assess myself and Lee and what we are doing as tutors- hence why we want to show you off and your art work in the best possible light. If you do have any questions about the assessment process or the next few days do not hesitate to ask myself or Lee.
