Hi Faith,
Universities have special machines that can grade multiple choice tests. The evaluation services at U of Pitt, where I teach then send students’ scores as well as statistics for the overall test. I have just used this service a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure this type of technology would be available at schools though. The machines are called scantron, and they have been around for a while.

Hello all,
I have about a year before I begin my student teaching and this semester I am teaching several lessons. With these lessons I am giving multiple choice tests and writing activities. In the past someone has just graded the multiple choice items for me and then read the writing responses out loud. Do you guys know any other way to grade papers when they are hand written and not typed? Is there any new type of technology out there that I am unaware of that will read handwriting?
Thanks

Hi there. When I student-taught, I did the same thing. Had reader read
things out loud for me (including the multiple choice questions). What will
you be teaching? Is there a reason you need to have lessons hand-written?

Hello,
I am teaching english. The lessons are not handwritten. I type those up. Its the student answers to the multiple choice questions and the writing assignments that are hand written. So someone read everything to you as well? I wish there was away to get around that and make grading a more independent task.
Thanks

Hi there,
If there is tech to read handwriting, I'd love to know about it! Smile! I have someone grade multiple choice and other objective things via a key I make ahead of time. I have someone read me handwritten essay questions, but I also schedule the writing lab when I can for essay tests so they can print those answers from the computer or e-mail them. Our lab space is limited, so it doesn't always work, but having readers read handwritten ansers is a royal pain, I'll admit. It is slow and cumbersome, but it is sometimes unavoidable. I never have someone read me multiple choice and such as it takes away time that is better spent elsewhere, and blind teachers need every second of time they can get, in my opinion. English is definitely one of the most grading intensive subjects to be teaching.

Hope,
Remember that a test is an assessment not only of the students but of how
well the teacher taught the material or wrote the test. Having someone else
grade the objective questions gives you no feedback on which questions are
being missed the most often. If large numbers of students are getting the
same question wrong, then either that material needs to be reviewed, or else
the question was not written clearly. If you do have someone else score
objective tests, you might at least have the person keep a tally of which
questions were missed. (Note that this is not just a blindness issue, as
many sighted teachers use assistants or student aides to grade objective
tests.)
I taught French and English for many years, and I tried to stay away from
true-false or multiple choice test questions, as they don't allow students
to show off what they do know. They also encourage cheating. Having an
assistant read you tests is time consuming but worth it in your knowledge of
students' capabilities. Of course, Kathy has the best suggestion: have
students turn in electronic tests whenever possible. Perhaps someday it
will be possible for all student work to be done electronically.
Good luck!
Carolyn

Depending on which grades you teach, you might consider having them write
answers to lessons on a laptop. Especially if you're not actually grading
them on their penmanship.
Just a thought. :)

Hello,
I am teaching english. The lessons are not handwritten. I type those up.
Its the student answers to the multiple choice questions and the writing
assignments that are hand written. So someone read everything to you as
well? I wish there was away to get around that and make grading a more
independent task.
Thanks
