 * First Placement: **

My first placement teacher only grades tests, and not worksheets. She gives out a weekly test in both reading and spelling and a test after every math unit she teaches. She grades the tests out of 100 points and then records them in her grade book. My teacher also monitors math skills by giving the students addition facts sheets and seeing how many they can answer in 3 minutes. She records their # of correct problems in her grade book and monitors to see if their grades are improving. She gives out worksheets every morning and checks them for correctness, but never records a grade for them. The worksheets are mainly to see if they understand new concepts.


 * Second Placement: **

My second placement teacher grades many more things than my first placement teacher. However, they both give out weekly tests in both reading and spelling. They both also give out a math test after each math unit covered. The teacher grades them for percentage correct and records the students' scores in her grade book. One major difference between the two teachers is that my second placement teacher actually grades homework and worksheets. She records these scores in her grade book alongside their test scores.
