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!) I would have an open conversation with the co-teacher about m y expectations for the class and for the grading standards. Also, I would give the co-teacher a grading rubric, or an example paper to grade by. This would give the co-teacher the an idea of how your expectations should appear in written form.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Both teachers and students would benefit from having an example to go by.
