Dear Stellar Teacher: What Should Grading Look Like in My Classroom?

Writing

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, regardless of the subject you teach, every teacher should consider themselves a writing teacher…. Because no matter what content area you teach, in order for students to express and communicate their understanding of the topics you are teaching, they need to have a strong writing foundation.  Check out these posts to learn quick and easy ways you can give your students more support as they grow as writers.
