Am an NQT in a secondary subject which is traditionally marking heavy. Absolutely loving it so far - I career changed from a senior NHS job so knew what I was getting in to!
One thing I want to get better at is marking, not the quality because I've been told mine is good, but how I organise the actual process.
We have to use stickers for any independent work and the guidance is to mark every two weeks but that's 8 lessons for me which feels like a long gap. I try to mark homework straight away so that I can correct things in the next lesson but it's still taking me about two hours to get through a set of books. I am also a master procrastinator which doesn't help!
How do you organise your marking? I thought about scheduling it but that might mean I was out of sync with book scrutinies and things like that. I also briefly considered marking in small batches but that didn't work in terms of having the whole class ready to do reflections at the same time, and I hate the moaning about so and so's book being marked before theirs.
What genius tips am I missing?
