Grading Day Grades 3-8 Math and ELA

We are discussing the possibility of grading all the Math and ELA exams for grades 3-8 during a Superintendent's Conference Day on May 11th. We are curious to see how other districts are planning to administer and grade those exams in a relatively short period of time. Are there any similar proposals?

I can tell you that Babylon is sending out some of our tests for scoring to Educational Vista, Inc. and then keeping three grade levels of ELA and two of Math in-house for scoring. We'll be using subsititutes for the days needed to score. I can't imagine how some districts are going to get all the scoring and administrative tasks (bubble checking, make-ups, etc.) completed in the short time frame. Additionally, AP exams are going during the Math adiminstration--and since we have a 7-12 building we're facing a multitude of issues that we're planning for now.

Thank you for your response. I think we are all struggling with this scenario. We are going to move ahead with our plan to grade all the exams in one day. Our next task will be providing professional development for those professionals that are not grading the exams.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource

Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and

other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching

practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
