  Case: Culminating Performance Tasks = Hours of Grading
With the implementation of the new Georgia Milestones Assessment, Copy County is doing away with multiple choice summative unit assessments and are replacing them with culminating performance tasks that are usually two parts. Unit One's culminating performance task involved writing a 3 paragraph reflection for part A, and part B required students to write an argumentative speech. How can Mrs. Teacher-by-day-mom-by-night grade 120 essays and watch 120 speeches without losing her mind??
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Figure out a number that is feasible to grade each day and start to chip away at the workload. It might be worth asking other teachers their strategies. Most audio sources have an option to speed up the recording. This helps condense the speech without losing the content.
