  Case: Co-Teacher's grading
You a high school English teacher and have a co-teacher in two of your four classes. The co-teacher offers to grade the essays for both the regular and special education students in both classes so you can grade your other two classes. It's about a week later before you get the essays back and are able to record the grades and return them to students. While looking over them you notice your co-teacher was very lenient on the students and did not use the rubric that had been created. What is worse is that your students in the classes that are not co-taught are upset that their grades are so horrible in comparison--the students have obviously been talking to each other. How should you handle this situation with your co-teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The co-teacher may not know how to read and apply the points for the rubric,therefore, I would provide her with some training on how to understand the rubric and how to apply the points of the rubric to the students work. Having your co-teacher assist you in grading can be a huge help to you. It's just a matter of making sure that she understands how to effectively grade student work using the tools that you have opted to use.
