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!)
I would talk to the co-teacher to get her explanation of how she graded and why. Then I would make sure that they understand the rubric and that the rubric helped to offer fairness to all students. Also, I'd offer to let her make the rubric next time or modify it if they felt it was lacking in certain areas. |

Comments: The co-teacher shouldn't make her own rubric if it won't be used for the other classes as well. It won't solve the complaining of the students. |

Comments: making another rubric that won't be used does not seem like a solution. |

Comments: Though this may solve the more pressing issue allowing another teacher to create the rubric for two classes and still creating the rubric for the other two would create an even bigger gap between class grades as well as possibly make one class easier. |
