Description
NEA-Together (Meeting 3) Moderation and Revision
Food Teachers Centre Community is running simultaneous Saturday and twilight meetings around the country during March to help you with GCSE marking, moderation and idea for effective revision for the written exam. This covers ALL GCSE BOARDS.
The focus of the meeting will be
- Marking and moderation of NEA – focusing on NEA2 (Practical test)
- Preparing your candidates for the written exam and revision techniques
This is a community style meeting, which is less formal and more self-help than our other training days or face to face events. As there are over 50 regional meetings, the Food Teachers Centre Associate team try to attend as many as possible, but we cannot attend them all. To ensure that people get the most effective help we can provide, we send the host video presentations and activities to use in the meeting. We know that this is great for your school results, your own CPD and networking, so we hope that you will join us.
The session cover ALL BOARDS – AQA, EDUQAS and OCR, so you should be able to work in a group with others who are doing the same board as you. However, for boards that have small uptake (such as OCR) we cannot guarantee this, as people drop out even if they are on the guest list when you enquire. But in 100 meetings last year, all but 3 meetings had other teachers to work with from the same board.
We ask for a minimum donation of £15 to help us cover the costs of venues, emailing and setting up the events. Please enter £15 when booking, and ensure that you do a separate booking for each person coming. The ticket must be in the name of the person attending and must match the ID that you will need to bring for registration at the school due to Safeguarding.
Maximum numbers apply to each venue, so be sure to book promptly to get a place, or add your name to the waiting list.

Organised by
FOOD TEACHERS CENTRE is a uk based self-help group founded by Louise T Davies in 2013 and supported by experienced associates. It provides a platform to exchange best practice, give advice and support to less experienced teachers, answering practical concerns and keeping them abreast of the latest curriculum changes. A one-stop shop for like-minded professionals who seek help and information. It is free to take part and is facilitated through a closed on-line group, safeguarding the conversations of the teaching staff.
The idea of a 'Teacher's Centre' is a response to the lack of local and national specialist support and diminishing Continuing Professional Development with the demise of local authority advisers ASTs, lead practitioners and supporting organisations.
The Centre utilises new technologies, not requiring a physical space in new times, but providing the same high quality service that our traditional teachers centres were recognised for.
The Food Teachers Centre is a place of
- creative, innovative ideas and action
- practical solutions
- learning and sharing
