External Moderation in the MYP

All IB schools are responsible for developing appropriate assessments for their students according to published MYP objectives and criteria. While external examinations are not provided, IB World Schools offering the MYP must participate in either moderation or monitoring of assessment. The IB reviews and provides feedback on each school’s internally-developed assessments, highlighting those areas where the school is performing well along with areas for improvement.

External moderation validates final grades and records of achievement, and awards MYP certificates. For moderation, schools submit samples of assessed students’ work from each of the MYP subject areas (along with the personal project) from the final year of the programme to independent external moderators appointed by the IB. Through this process, the IB ensures that schools and teachers are using international MYP standards in assessing their students. 

Monitoring of assessment provides support and guidance to schools with regards to internal assessment procedures and practices. Schools benefit from the expertise of trained moderators and experienced MYP subject specialists. Monitoring of assessment helps schools apply MYP assessment principles to their own local practices.
