The enhanced awareness of how assessment criteria and mark schemes are applied to pupil responses for national curriculum tests provides an increased knowledge that teachers can take back to their own schools and classrooms.
Furthermore, a marking role provides an opportunity to widen networks within the teaching and marking communities and broaden horizons for potential future career progression. The marking hierarchy has a diverse array of roles, with opportunities for markers to be promoted in future test cycles (depending on performance and availability), all of which provide desirable experience to enhance a teacher's CV.
