[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really sure what you mean with "maintaining their paperwork, to make them file lessons/assignment/grades properly".  Lessons are available for the student in class.  Students are to be in class and complete the learning in class.  Long are the days of asynchronous lessons. Assignments are given out in class.  Students have access to work in the classroom.  I post them in myMCPS Classroom, if that is where I want them to complete it.  But often times it is done on paper.

As a teacher, paperwork is the last thing on my list of things to do.  It is the first thing that I cut.  This is one of the many reasons why teachers are overworked.  We have to plan the lesson.  Make copies of the handouts/worksheets/assignments.  That alone can take time because the copy machines are always broken or there is a line.  Then we have to teach the lesson.  Students are expected to complete the work in class and then possibly for homework.  Students then turn in the assignment. I grade it.  And this is all for one lesson/class.  I have three preps, so this is tripled.  5 days a week, 25 lessons per week, if I am lucky I get 5 45 minute planning periods a week to do all of this.

Maybe stop blaming teachers and fight for appropriate time for teachers to complete these tasks that you want us to do.

There should be a student teacher for every higher level course!![/quote]

Student teachers aren’t allowed to grade unless it is their official internship period —typically 4 to 6 weeks. Even then, the certified teacher must check all of those grades. [/quote]
