MODERATION

Can't find someone? We'll give it a go!

Moderation Form

Fill out the form below and we'll write to you. If you haven't heard from us within two school weeks, don't forget to check your spam/junk folder (or prompt us again). You do not need to be in the Bay of Plenty, or subscriber of Bay Science, to complete this form — but you do need to be a teacher.

Ngā mihi nui — thank you for your submission!
We’ll be in touch as soon as we can. Please know that, like you, we are also full-time kaiako with busy workloads, so we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.

How does this work?

We’re here to help connect kaiako (teachers) with others who can support moderation requests. Just a heads-up: Bay Science doesn’t carry out moderation ourselves — we simply help make the connections.
 

When you complete this form, Bay Science will attempt to connect you with:
 

  • A regional subject association representative;

  • A fellow kaiako (teacher) who is a reader/subscriber of Bay Science (your name, kura, and contact details will not be shared directly); or

  • An executive member of a relevant subject association.
     

We will also:
 

  • Email you manually to confirm we’ve received your request;

  • We’ll do a quick check (school website, staff directory, or Teaching Council register), or write to you directly, to confirm that you are a teacher.

  • Keep you in the loop with news and announcements (unsubscribe anytime)
     

Important to note:
 

  • Bay Science does not carry out moderation — we only act as a connector.

  • All rauemi (resources) and moderation decisions remain the responsibility of the subject association, teacher, or group you are connected with.

  • Please do not include any personally identifiable information about ākonga (students) (such as names, photographs, or work samples) in this form.

  • Other than your name, kura, and email, please do not include additional personal information.

  • We cannot guarantee that a moderator will always be found, or that they will accept your request.

  • By submitting, you acknowledge that Bay Science is facilitating a connection only, and is not responsible or liable for the outcome, process, or quality of any moderation undertaken by others.

  • Any submission that does not comply with these terms will not be acknowledged or processed.
