How It Works
- Claim an assignment from the Assignment Board.
- Grade and provide feedback based on a rubric, prompt, and the teacher’s grading instructions.
- Wait for approval from the teacher, who will review your work and provide a personalized rating and review.
Types of Assignments
Graders evaluate assignments that require high-quality, rubric-based scoring and feedback. The majority of assignments are writing-based and come from English and Social Studies classes, so graders should expect these subjects to be their primary focus.
For writing assignments, graders assess student strengths and areas for growth, offering both individualized feedback and a class-wide summary for the teacher.
Additional subjects include science, math, psychology, computer science, and more. Graders can apply for additional qualifications to gain access to these specialized subjects.
Time Commitment
Grading is flexible—pick up assignments that fit your schedule! During the school year (September–December and February–May), graders should be prepared to dedicate at least 6 hours per week, which equates to approximately four assignments per month.
Regular grading benefits everyone—teachers and students receive valuable, consistent feedback, and graders build habits that improve their speed and efficiency.
