[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s less about not putting the grades into SIS than not grading the work at all. When teachers don’t grade and return assignments, how are kids supposed to learn and do better the next time?[/quote]

Sounds like the district needs to give them more planning time to do it.[/quote]

YES, please! I don’t even have after school planning time twice a week as one day is school meetings (department, faculty, etc) and one day is required free tutoring. Even just saying no commitments after the last bell rings would be a major improvement.[/quote]

How much time do you get during the school day? Not challenging you, just curious. I’m an ES teacher and I can completely understand prioritizing and how entering grades into a grade book gets pushed down the list behind more immediate needs. There are only so many hours.[/quote]

90 minutes a day without students. 2 of those blocks per week are CT meetings, so 3-90 minute blocks per week. It’s enough time to get the planning done for my daily lessons most days, but all grading and extra planning (writing retakes, creating work packets for absent kids), emailing families, writing letters of recommendation, IEP narratives, etc are done after hours/on weekends.[/quote]
