To All:
I am contemplating how I can best revamp my homework policy. I haven't
received very good results from the methods I've used. In the past, I assigned
different types of LA assignments based on which day of the week it was. The
assignment was due the next day, except for Social Studies, which I also teach,
was a week long assignment of a project-based type item. I would check in
homework based on student name on a list. Only the students who like doing
homework, or who have support at home would do the assignment. Then everyday I
had a huge stack of papers to grade that I invariably became lost in and late
in grading, so that neither I nor the students received timely feedback from
their work.
I'd like to change this cycle of poor performance on my part. Grading is
always going to be a trial for me, because it's the part of teaching I enjoy
the least. I would like to make it more manageable, though. Does anyone have
some management advice?
Thanks,
DeAnn Kaduce,
