Hello, my name is Sherry Mullins.  This is my 25 year in the teaching field.  I teach Math 6, Math 7, Math 8, and Algebra I in Smyth County, Virginia.  I've been married 38 years and have one son.  After attending the AFL workshop on Tuesday, I've been doing alot of thinking about assessment.  I need to put alot of thought into how and WHY something is graded. 

[Scott Habeeb]

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself, Sherry.  I'm glad the workshop has caused you to do some thinking and self-evaluation.  Let me know if you need to bounce any ideas of someone.  Keep in touch!
