Many teachers complain about the work load required in correcting, providing feedback and assessment. I have even seen some incredible activities and lessons passed over because the teacher didn't want to be burdened by the grading involved.
I have found the writer's workshop methodology to be helpful in all my content areas to help ease the workload and provide an effective way to meet with students. I "go" to the students for conferencing and schedule our "dates." That way ,they can work on other parts of an activity , writing project or map until I get there and they seem more prepared to get what they truly need from me. I have found this most useful. How about you? How have you handled the load? Any useful tips? Also I have a friend who still practices the "Exchange papers and correct your neighbors work." Other than peer-edit or peer-reviewing I don't use this method. Tena ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
