Thanks for the slides! What was said on standardisation with regards to internal assessment?

It was said that standardisation wasn't required at a school level, most schools would submit raw data. Assessment tasks, however, should reflect the 50/50 assessment split in more than a nominal manner.

Thanks Jacqueline. And this via Twitter: "if its the same advice all BOSLOs are giving-linear mapping is ok, not standardising it does not keep same spacing between scores" — Susan Leamon (@Susan_Leamon) [url="https://twitter.com/Susan_Leamon/statuses/379960187261423616"]September 17, 2013[/url]

And this from Twitter: "It was also said that if you wish to standardise, make sure it is needed and meaningful in terms of weightings." — Becky Lovelock (@LovelockBex) [url="https://twitter.com/LovelockBex/statuses/380316921452699650"]September 18, 2013[/url]
