[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I put aside 30 minutes each night to grade assignments as they are submitted.  I know that means I'm "working for free" but it helps me keep things at a manageable level so I can get everything done in compliance with the new grading policy.  [/quote]

What subject and grade level?

I would be thrilled if it was just 30 min a night for seven nights.

It usually 2.5 to 3 hours a night for 4-5 nights to grade a single secondary writing assignment with comments. [/quote]

Hon. English 9.

I'm sure the grading responsibility will increase as the year progresses but so far through 3 weeks we have not done any large scale assignments.  Each one takes 2-3 minutes to review and grade.  When we get to larger written assignments, we have two staff members who work in the writing center who can assist with the heavy lifting of evaluating papers.[/quote]

That’s great!

The grading load is why our school has difficulty keeping English teachers. It’s usually the cited reason when people quit. If we had someone to help with essay comments, we may be able to grow some veteran department members! [/quote]
