I'm overwhelmed by grading my students' writing. It takes me at least 10-15 min to grade each one for almost 100 kids. Any tips?

When I started 25 years ago, English teachers in my district only had 4 classes, in recognition of the fact that the time it took to grade papers was longer for them (on average) than most others.

Yep...I’ve been told that, as well.

Have them do peer reviews or self reviews for some of the assignments and highlight or bold the aspects you are looking to grade. When you grade, make a rubric and only look at the specific elements you had them do the review for and highlight or bold (ex: bold all your transitions and underline your thesis.) Then you can do a quick check for what they highlighted or put in bold... each assessment have them focus on different elements.

Read, don’t edit. Score with a rubric and offer specific, actionable feedback. Use the workshop model so that by the time you’re reading a published copy, you already know the student’s writing. Allow for revisions.

Agree, but it is hard to use the workshop model remotely, yes? I can never meet with each of them virtually- they don't show up...getting to see 51 students even once every two weeks is difficult

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Crowdsourcing perspective. Had an advisor help me negotiate my new job offer behind the scenes. They were not compensated at all but we have a good working relationship (we have helped each other over decade+). What would be a nice gift to acknowledge/appreciate the help? It was a half dozen conversations over two months so not immaterial commitment of time.
