Bulgarian Grading:Essay styleHannah Allen

Pedagogy

The method and practice of teaching

Who grades?

What is your position as a teacher in terms of assessment?

I write grades in the book

I talk with the class teacher to give input

I don’t have much control over grading

Know your place- don’t get frustrated…

Be consistent

All across the board

Things that have worked for me

Having 1 on 1 meetingsDuring essay or project as a check in

When distributing grade

Make it a processHave the project/essay be over a few weeks so that they have time to catch up

Set a goal

Talk to your colleagues, but not too muchClean slate

What are your expectations?

Stop. Sit down. Think about your expectations.

Are they realistic?

Outline them from the beginning of the project/paper

Give them a physical sheet to take homeUpload the sheet online

Email etc…

Try again, try again, try again
