Internal moderation that survives the deadline
A one-hour departmental protocol to moderate DP internal assessment without heroics.
How to use it
Blind-second-mark a 20% sample chosen by band, discuss only discrepancies above one band, record agreements on the sheet.
Adaptations and limits
Small departments can pair with a sister school and moderate remotely.
Why it works
Sampling by band catches boundary drift where uniform sampling misses it.

With Year 11 it works better splitting the session in two: first half guided, second with the material in students' hands. Suggestion: add a 5-minute plenary.

I shared it with my class through the classroom link, no sign-ups and no branding: it looks clean on the board and every student opened it on their tablet first try.
