Online Marking Workshops and Coursework Marking Workshops are recommended for teachers who have been teaching Cambridge International programmes and qualifications for at least one year or one exam cycle. During the workshop teachers will engage with recent candidate responses to build confidence in their understanding of the assessment criteria.
We offer two types of marking workshops - one for coursework components only called Coursework Marking Workshops, and one for examination papers (i.e. non-coursework components) called Marking Workshops.
Both Marking and Coursework Marking Workshops are 3 weeks long and focus on the following:
- Week 1: Marking candidate scripts
- Week 2: Marking standardisation
- Week 3: Reviewing marking and asking questions
Teachers should expect to spend 3 - 4 hours a week on the workshop, up to a total of 9 hours across the 3 weeks.
Successful completion of this course is based on participation in collaborative activities with teachers from around the world. The discussions and activities each week are in groups. You do not need to be online at a particular time of day for our online courses, but we recommend that you access the course every day. To help you manage your time and aid collaboration, we provide clear guidelines so you know which days to carry out the activities for each week.
Participants who complete key weekly activities and engage fully in discussions throughout the course will receive a certificate of attendance.
Please note: the candidate responses used in our marking workshops are updated at the beginning of each calendar year.
In order to facilitate rich and meaningful discussions with participants and the course tutor, bookings for our online courses are limited to 25 participants per session.
