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!) When there are two teachers grading, it would be best to discuss any gray areas. The rubric should be used for the classes. If the co-teacher decided to deviate from the rubric, there should have been one modified and shown to the other teacher. The co-teacher should grade the students in special education with her rubric. If she had an issue with the one that was made, she should have made modifications and included it with her lesson plans. There at this point should not be a grade given for the essay but just feedback on errors because of the inconsistency in grading with the rubric. |
