• Grading yearbook students doesn't have to be hard!

• Delegate jobs whenever you can - put the responsibility on them.

• Every group of yearbook students is different. Change up your grading system each year, as needed.

  by getting students AND parents to sign off on your grading system at the beginning of school.
