Does a school have to request monitoring of assessment before submitting samples for moderation?

Schools are not required to request monitoring of assessment before submitting samples for moderation. However, it is often very useful for teachers to be provided with feedback on their assessment practices and their application of the criterion levels before moderation takes place, where moderation samples are incomplete or criteria applied inappropriately, moderation is impossible and students maybe penalised. Requesting monitoring of assessment in one of several subjects the year before moderation provides reassuring feedback and gives the teachers plenty of time to adjust to necessary changes.
