Discussion question · 10 marks
Imagine you have just moderated a set of 10 student Internal Assessments with a colleague and found that your marks consistently differed by two points. Describe how you would facilitate a departmental 'calibration sprint' to resolve this, identifying the specific tools (such as examiner reports or annotated scripts) you would use, and explain how you would ensure that your final grades align with IB global standards rather than just your shared team consensus.
What a full-mark response shows
- Critically evaluates the relationship between IB command words and specific mark-band descriptors.
- Uses concrete examples from candidate scripts to illustrate how to identify common marking discrepancies.
- Demonstrates a clear understanding of the pedagogical shift from subjective judgment to evidence-based calibration.
- Proposes a practical, teacher-led solution for integrating syllabus standards into daily classroom feedback loops.
