Using Comparative Judgement to improve writing

12 Jun 2024

Comparative judgement is an innovative way of assessing writing offered by No More Marking, which is currently used by 2,000 schools in the UK, the USA, and Australia. Comparative judgement is a process where judges (normally teachers) compare two responses and decide which is better. Research has shown the process to be as reliable as double marking, but much quicker.

This webinar explains how comparative judgement works in practice, how it is different from traditional forms of marking, and why it can be such a valuable approach to assessing and improving writing in schools. It also covers how No More Marking’s national and international writing assessments work and how to interpret the results from a comparative judgement assessment.
