How would I know what was an A,B, etc?<BR/>Now four years into the teaching thing, I know what I expect to see because I clearly outline what I want for each assignment and show models (mine and student), rubrics, whatever I need to make them successfully aware of what they need to know. Is it working all the time? No, but that is what is glorious about this job: we can always refine and readjust to do just what you outlined in the post. <BR/>One of my future blogs will address the idea of the validity of grading when you have social promotion. It is something that has been on my mind since my employment.Ms. Georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04256309349416323851noreply@blogger.com
