As a future educator, I often look to my own teachers and the strategies they use to teach. One of my most recent observations is how students work so differently from one another and how they may or may not be punished or rewarded for this reality. I came across this little dilemma because of my own personal experience with this. I tend to be a very slow creator when it comes to my artwork, versus someone who can spend one fourth the time that I do and receive an equal or even better grade then my own. This observation is not out of jelousy or anger, maybe a bit of frustration, but because I think its important as a future teacher to take the diversity of how students work into consideration when grading their work. Although the quality of the work between two students might be the same, one student might have put many more hours and effort into their work, or one student might have progressed in their work and maintained a good sense of work ethic.
