At our school the EAL teachers regularly meet with classroom teachers of EAL students to discuss progress and moderate with progression points. The assistant principals don’t meet with us as they don’t have the knowledge of the students. We are at a large school with over 100 EAL students. We have annotated samples of the students’ writing to refer to during moderation. With reading we use the same assessment for oral retells and comprehension as the classroom teachers to ensure consistency of assessment.
