High school teacher? I'm just guessing you teach at a secondary level because an elementary classroom teacher is not going to be able to be that automated. There is no way to get all of that done when you are running a morning meeting, facilitating a sense making session, meeting with small math groups while monitoring stations during Math Workshop, meeting with students during Writing Workshop, meeting with groups during an intervention block, preparing materials from the science kit, meeting with reading groups, etc.[/quote]

Nope!  I teach elementary school too.

You HAVE to figure out ways to do it.  Do less.  Grade less. Provide less feedback.

For elementary school "automated" means checklists and stamps and universal rubrics and basically just lowering your standards.

I've seen young teachers writing detailed responses every week into student journals.  Takes hours. Then, the leave after 3 years "because soooooo much is expected of us".

The school district will squeeze every inch of work out of you if you let them.  "It's for the kids!!"
