COMPUTERIZED ESSAY GRADING NOT MAKING THE GRADE

COMPUTERIZED ESSAY GRADING NOT MAKING THE GRADE



Computerized essay grading has come a long way. But not far enough. As someone who has been certified in essay scoring, who has personally scored more than 50,000 essays, and who has run large scale scoring sessions for districts, I agree. Here’s an article evaluating the state of the art: “In closing his interview, Mr. Perelman offered what he called Perelman's conjecture: ‘People's belief in…

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.
