Online marking workshops are recommended for teachers who have attended Introductory training and/or have been teaching Cambridge 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.
Before you start this workshop it is important for you to have a good understanding of the assessment related to this syllabus. This includes the assessment objectives, the application of mark schemes and the structure of the papers.
Online 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 - 5 hours per week on the workshop.
We will be changing the format of the workshops running from February 2021 to be 2 weeks in length. The workshops will be covering the same content as before and will be structured as follows:
- Week 1: Marking candidate scripts
- Week 2: Marking standardisation, reviewing marking and asking questions
Teachers should expect to spend 5 - 6 hours per week on the workshop.
Successful completion of these workshops is based on participation in collaborative activities with teachers from around the world. Discussions and activities each week are in groups. You don't need to be online at a particular time of day for our online workshops, but we recommend that teachers access the workshops every day. Participants who complete key weekly activities and engage fully in discussions throughout the workshop will receive a certificate. 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.
Please note: the recent candidate responses used in our marking workshops are updated at the beginning of each calendar year.
