Summary
One of the issues I'm most passionate about is making teaching more effective, efficient, and enjoyable, so I've gathered a group of educators to create a Productivity Roundtable.
Joining me are five members of the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club's graduate program. They have done a tremendous amount of work in experimenting with various productivity strategies in their classrooms and creating systems and routines that work well for them and their students. Since they teach at different grade levels and subject areas, in different types of school settings and communities, in a diverse set of locations throughout the United States, you're going to hear what works with a variety of teaching contexts and teaching styles.
The topic for our first productivity roundtable is streamlining the grading and assessment process. They'll share their best hacks and time-saving tips related to grading and assessment!
