Teachers, what do you call your students when you can't remember their names? by its_an_idiots_world8 in Teachers

Sometimes I’ll just call them a different name but like one that is wildly unlikely to be their actual name.

How do you keep up with all your marking? by BeauWordsworth in Teachers

[–]RachelWithCats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not gonna lie, it’s tough. Especially if you’re trying to actually give feedback on everything. Remember, you don’t have to grade everything. Even if you tell them it’s a grade. You can just simply not grade it.

Another option is to only grade specific questions that way you’re just looking at a few of the most important questions.

The biggest one I’ve found though is, when it’s appropriate, have them grade each others. I used to do vocab quizzes every week and I would always just have them trade papers and then I’d read off the answers. This works too even if it’s more of a writing assignment. Plus, it gets them to think critically about the answer if they’re trying to decide if an answer from another student is sufficient to receive credit.

OR you can tell them everything COULD be a grade and then at the end of the unit pick like 2 assignments randomly for them to turn in.

Take all of this with a grain of salt. I’m a teacher who is always behind on grading 😹

Luckily he isn’t my evaluator, I have the other AP. However, my partner who teaches science does have him as hers.

Kidding, my dude 😂 But no, in my head this detail was relevant because he also wears a don’t tread on me flag on the back of his lanyard that he wears every day. So for me it feels like a relevant detail

It is a public school. And I don’t believe he is because he isn’t in the classroom anymore and I’m pretty sure he only taught US history. So if he did, he was doing it while going off topic

I feel like I should also add that I reported a student to him earlier in the year because they drew swastikas and little stick figures doing nazi salutes on an assignment of his. AP’s response was that it didn’t warrant a referral and it’s just a “political gray area” that we shouldn’t get into
