I’d love to do that. But absenteeism is so bad that it takes a week just to get the majority of the kids to have sat the test. I can’t give back a test before all the kids have sat it.

Sometimes after a short lecture (15-20min), I’ll give a small worksheet and tell students if they complete before class ends, bring it to me and I’ll grade it and give 1/2 pt bonus on their next test. They respond well to these type of “treats”. They’ll run through a brick wall for extra credit points.

Middle School- I keep quarterly work in portfolio. I do feed back on assignment/online gradebook.

I don't know about this. If it worked for you , i'm glad it has been successful. I have a lot of assignments that are done online and are automatically graded. Instantly. No improvement in classroom conduct. I just don't really believe in this principle.That if you do something that shows you care , they're going to want to work harder. That's ridiculous. If a doctor gives you some guidance and they say , I really care about you does that make it more likely , you're gonna follow it.

Same. Teacher with a MBA. It was tough finding time to grade my first year. Going into year 2 I promised myself I will be more proactive with grading.

My daughters teachers have all consistently not bothered to grade things or check work. The report cards are clearly copy paste. I see it as so demotivating.

pahasiili :
how do you grade and return them SAME DAY?? i'm teaching the whole day, i don't have time to grade. and even if I did it would take me at least an hour, possibly more to finish 😕 tho i admit that i have to start grading faster, but sometimes it takes a while until everyone has done the exam cause someone always absent

Well, yeah, I mean you did say it that most of us probably do it most veteran teachers do that it’s always great to show awesome Work I also go over from other classes. I teach what an a looks like what a bee looks like with a C looks like what a D looks like just so they haven’t understanding of what my expectations are no names are ever shown and it’s always typed Work

kwat :
What subject / grade do you teach? I feel like it’s near impossible to give work back quickly with actionable, individualized feedback as a high school English teacher because it’s so text and analysis heavy. Is there an online system you use or types of activities / questions you use?

What do you teach and how long is your prep? Because I’m an ELA teacher and I have all of 30 minutes each day for prep. I can’t lesson plan, set up the classroom for the classes, call parents, and grade 50 papers in 30 minutes. And like hell will I be bringing all that home.

Agree! I would check my students work with a red pen and once they finished their work they will wait until I checked it off with my red pen and get happy… instant grading does help.

I prefer a good crash out where I throw myself on the floor and ask the kids "why do you have to be like this" ... Usually they worry about me and stop.
