As the modern school curriculum continues to evolve to fit the requirements of students in the 21st century, we have seen an increased awareness of the importance and value of skills-based learning and project qualifications.
These qualifications, such as the ISEB Project Qualification (iPQ) and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ, from AQA), engage students on a deeper level, challenging them through the application of critical thinking skills and independent working, fostering a lifelong love for learning through the real-world application of knowledge.
As a champion of this qualification style, ISEB is at the forefront of developing and introducing associated digital assessment technology to support schools and pupils in making the most out of skills-based project learning.
Join Julia Martin, Chief Executive of the Independent Schools Examinations Board (ISEB), as she introduces and explores ISEB’s revolutionary new digital project marking system, adaptive comparative judgement, delivered in partnership with RM Compare.
As the first exam board in the UK to adopt comparative judgement, ISEB is at the forefront of the practice that looks set to transform the industry, reducing teacher workload, standardising results, providing rigorous moderation and reducing the time burden when implementing project-based qualifications. Talk attendees will hear learner-centric stories that show how adaptive comparative judgement is helping school and curriculum leaders in the independent and maintained sector foster game-changing partnerships, create curricula and assessments that showcase each school’s unique identity, and support learners in showcasing creative, multi-modal, interdisciplinary, skills-led work in any subject.
Grounded in data from the results of our pilots with over 600 learners, attendees will go behind the scenes to find out how ISEB’s unique repository of diverse, creative, intellectual, and entrepreneurial project outcomes are assessed to understand how adaptive comparative judgement technology could work in their schools.
