"This is the first time that an innovation has directly impacted my ability to reach students at a higher level. EssayGrader helps me not to be bogged down by the tedious, albeit necessary, minutia of things like conventions and grammar which frees up my grading time for me to teach and evaluate the “art” of writing."
"EssayGrader has been phenomenal to use for my ELA classes.I grade all of my ELA essays with Common Core State Standards, and it probably saves me 5-6 hours of time per week. I loved it so much that I recommended it to our principal, and we are looking to roll this out with other teachers at our school."
