2014 Goal #3: Mark Smarter

I've been working diligently over the past few days on this goal.  I left school in December quite sick and with LOTS of marking.  Thanks to the school closure day and 2 no-student no-bus days I've been able to get down to 2 class sets of projects, one class set of tests and test corrections.  That's still a lot but boy did I work hard to get it down to that!

This is a goal I need help with and I would love your comments!

I make my tests, quizzes and assignments relatively easy to mark:

I use Mr. Sketch markers and erasable pens to make marking more fun and quicker:  see how I put the 0 1 2 3 at the bottom of the question on this practice quiz - that's a huge time saver!

I am organized:

I have the Organizing Utility Tote from Thirty-One (the BEST teaching bag in my opinion) with the Fold n' File.

But yet I still get sick, tired and overworked.  How do you keep up with your marking?  How do you mark smart?

I would LOVE to read your suggestions in the comments!
