This website is maintained as a free resource for teachers, researchers, and students. Hosting, domain registration, and maintenance costs are paid personally and average about $300 annually. If the materials on this site have been useful to you, and you would like to help support its continued availability, contributions are appreciated but never expected. We know many of you contribute by hosting and writing for Ethical ELA. Others may feel more comfortable supporting website maintenance financially. Contributions not tax-deductible charitable donations because we are not a nonprofit, just open-access.
I love how you show such day to day practices in your posts this month. There are so many things we do the same but a peek into someone else’s process and thinking is so valuable! Grading is such a hot button issue too. I heard a speaker recently who said that grades are not about feelings – how teachers feel about them is irrelevant. There should be a consistent system. Thanks for showing how you function!
