The Paper Grading Load

As a classroom teacher, I always loved planning and instructing. I have never loved grading papers. I'm always on the lookout for good advice for being more efficient and effective at grading papers. So, I was really glad to come across this recent presentation by Carol Jago that is based on her popular book Papers, Papers, Papers. Here's a link to the powerpoint presentation, which includes two really useful things: a list of specific and compelling hints of do's and don'ts. Also, there are examples of what to write on four specific TYPES of student responses -- doesn't answer question, lack of development, etc. Good food for thought.
