Early Career Teacher Sessions - End of Semester Grading and Feedback Tips for Efficiency and Learning

November 15, 2024 | 11:00 - 12:00 PM Virtual

Marking is often at the top of teachers’ list of “Least Favourite Tasks.” The most common complaints are:

  1. “It takes too much time”
  2. “My students don’t read my feedback anyway.”

In this session, we will share ways to provide feedback and grade that save time and support continued learning, while working towards the bigger picture of consistency, transparency and equity. Bring your questions, concerns and ideas for this interactive session.

Open to: Aimed at early career teachers (teachers in their first five years of cegep teaching) but open to all levels of experience, educational roles and institutions.

Amanda Argento

Pedagogical Counselor and Project Lead, John Abbott College, Montreal

Amanda is a Pedagogical Counselor and Project Lead in the design of the John Abbott College (JAC) Innovation HUB, an educational and innovative resource available to Faculty, Staff, and to the college community. However, Amanda is more than just these official roles, she has become the college’s go-to person. Whether a question is about how to create a Form, or how to improve student attendance, members of the college community know they can rely on Amanda’s incredible depth of pedagogical knowledge.

In addition, Amanda has instituted active collaborations with various areas at the college including faculty, professional development, student activities (Academic Success Centre, Counselling), as well as providing tutoring services (Physics, Math, and English), and support to Data Mining. Her implication has enabled the implementation of an online booking system which increased service use as well as track analytics to determine what periods are most busy and requested by students to receive tutoring. The Innovation HUB, for which Amanda is the Project Lead, is another example of her collaborative nature, as it is a direct result of interdisciplinary collaboration between pedagogical counsellors, communications, administration, and faculty members.
