Moderation and observations, inspection-ready in one record

Teaching Quality Assurance unifies coursework moderation and lesson observation into one structured, auditable workspace — so exam officers and school leaders can hand an inspector dated, defensible evidence on demand, without buying two apps or a proprietary school-management platform.

The problem

Schools face escalating pressure to prove — not merely assert — that moderation and instructional-leadership processes are rigorous. Undated freeform notes and spreadsheets cannot be filtered or defended under inspection, and a missing first mark, second mark, or moderation outcome can trigger cohort-wide mark-scaling penalties. The two existing Odoo apps only make it worse: each solves half the problem, both lock buyers into a proprietary school-management platform, and neither offers compliance reporting or cross-record trend analysis.

The solution

Teaching Quality Assurance gives exam officers, heads of department and QA leads a single structured record for both coursework moderation and lesson observation/work scrutiny. Every mark, score and agreed action lives in purpose-built fields with a Draft, Confirmed, Done workflow, a full audit trail, and automatic tolerance-breach flags — built on nothing but Odoo's own contact records, with no mandatory school-management dependency.

Capabilities

Everything quality assurance needs, in one app

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

One unified QA record

Moderation and observation records live in one model, one list and one dashboard — no more juggling two separate apps for related quality-assurance work.

02

Tolerance-aware mark moderation

Capture first and second marks per candidate against pre-populated awarding-body tolerance bands; variance is calculated automatically and out-of-tolerance rows are flagged in red.

03

Breach escalation workflow

Out-of-tolerance records route to an escalation action that notifies QA leads with a scheduled to-do, so no breaching mark is ever silently recorded.

04

Candidate authentication & sample tracking

Record candidate authentication statements and the awarding body's sample-request outcome alongside the marks they verify.

05

Lesson observation & work scrutiny

Capture lesson observations, learning walks and book/work scrutiny with visit type, duration, sample size and the items reviewed.

06

Embedded scoring rubric

Score every visit on the intent, implementation and impact framework with the rubric and scale guidance shown directly on the form, so observers score consistently.

07

Closed-loop agreed actions

Track agreed actions with an owner, status and completion date, so every finding is followed through to improvement rather than just filed away.

08

Sequential referencing & full audit trail

Every record gets a unique MOD/YYYY/NNNNN or OBS/YYYY/NNNNN reference and a complete chatter history of who did what, and when.

09

Compliance dashboard & bulk actions

Graph and pivot views summarise moderation and observation coverage by subject and status, and list-view bulk actions confirm or complete multiple records at once.

Workflow

How it works

1

Log the record

Create a moderation or observation record and pick the type — the purpose-built fields for that type appear automatically.

2

Capture & score

Enter candidate marks against tolerance bands, or score a visit on intent, implementation and impact with the embedded rubric guidance.

3

Confirm & resolve

Confirm the record once marking or scoring is complete; out-of-tolerance breaches must be escalated and resolved before the record can be closed.

4

Report & review

Use the compliance dashboard and a teacher's full QA history to see coverage and improvement at a glance ahead of any inspection.
