Soooo... How Am I Supposed To Grade A Yearbook Class?

SOOO... HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GRADE A YEARBOOK CLASS? You aren’t the first adviser to face this dilemma. Even those lucky enough to have a detailed plan from their predecessor still need to figure out the methods that are right for them, their class and the year. The most well-seasoned advisers are continually tweaking their methods. Every adviser needs to find the method that works for them, but we’ve shared the methods of four experienced advisers to provide a starting point. • Lynn Bare, using a rubric to ensure objectivity • Leland Mallett, CJE, grading for people who hate to grade • Vena Geasa, using Habits of Mind in the classroom • Renee Burke, detailed grading sheets
