This Teacher’s Shift in Feedback Now Saves Her Hours of Grading

This Teacher’s Shift in Feedback Now Saves Her Hours of Grading
SHARE

As the clock struck midnight, I found myself thinking about my fellow co-teachers who were still buried under a mountain of papers, grading assignments into the wee hours of the night. It brought back memories of my early teaching days when I too struggled with the overwhelming task of grading every single assignment. However, I was fortunate enough to receive some valuable advice from an experienced teacher like @strategicclassroom, who introduced me to a new approach to feedback that completely transformed my grading process.

The key to this approach is to assess only selected questions for correctness while grading the rest of the assignment for completion. This method has several benefits that make it a game-changer for both teachers and students alike. Firstly, it emphasizes that not every part of an assignment needs to be graded, saving both time and energy for teachers. By striking a balance between completion and correctness, students are encouraged to focus on practicing without the pressure of being graded on every single question.

This approach not only reduces grading time but also ensures that students complete their assignments thoroughly. By keeping students engaged throughout the entire assignment, it allows for self-assessment and provides an opportunity for students to check their own work against an answer key. This results in quicker feedback, which enhances student learning and maintains the quality of assessment.

@strategicclassroom advocates for this shift in feedback as it aligns with a newer movement in standards-based grading, where students take responsibility for their own learning. While some critics argue against giving credit for completion, it is essential to adapt this approach to suit individual needs and avoid inflating grades. Setting limits on completion points can help maintain the integrity of the feedback provided to students regarding their progress on the standards.

In response to some concerns raised in the comment section, it is important to establish boundaries and limits when implementing this approach. Providing assignments with aspects that are not graded can be puzzling for students, but it is essential to emphasize the value of practice in mastering a concept. By choosing a few key questions to grade and discussing them with the class, teachers can effectively drive reteaching and guide students towards a deeper understanding of the material.

Ultimately, this small shift in grading can have a significant impact on both teaching and learning. By prioritizing critical thinking over rote accuracy, educators can lessen their grading burden and enhance students’ learning experience. As we continue to refine our teaching methods, adopting these hacks can not only manage our workload but also elevate our educational impact. So, why not give it a try and see the difference it can make in your classroom?
