Please push back on this. When I was a school librarian in a middle school with a fixed schedule I had to grade about the same number of students as you with approximately the same format… 6 days, 40 minutes, about 750 students. It was a nightmare and incredibly time-consuming. Plus, I had to have parent-teacher conferences with all the parents too!

At my middle school all the other “special teachers” had a fourth or fewer students per grading period. The school eventually switched to a flex scheduled and the job became so much more enjoyable.

Get your union involved because this is unreasonable and I’m guessing no other teacher in the building has the same load. And if there are other teachers with the same load, go to the union as a group and demand support.

Best regards,

Julie

I give grades to almost 500 scholars. We have 3 terms per year, with grades given each term.

Hi All,

There has been some chatter at my school that I will need to start grading students that come to the LMC. I have 34 classes every 6 days for 30 minutes for a total of 766 students. I am curious if anyone else grades such a large number of students? If you do grade this many students, please give me some tips! Please help me gather data by filling out this survey. Thank you!


The correct form! Sorry!
