Case: Homework
I am experiencing great difficulty with students turning in their homework on time. Students are given an entire week to complete the weekly homework assignments. However, they refuse to complete the assignment and seem to not be bothered by the fact that they are getting a zero in the grade book. What solutions would you suggest to increase homework participation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You need to think about the purpose of your homework. Is it really necessary? Is it fun? Most students these days are left to do homework by themselves because parents aren't available, don't care, or don't know how to help them. Therefore, homework needs to be something the student can and will want to do by him or her self. I try to make homework fun. Most of my homework is technology based but I have alternate assignments for kids who don't have a computer at home (although even the lowest income homes have a smart phone). Students can do review games/fun projects, etc. Give them a choice board to let them choose what they want to do.
The purpose of homework is to review. However, a lot of students who get help do not end up doing the homework themselves. Parents just want it to get done and sometimes help in the wrong way (giving them answers, etc). I don't give homework unless I am required to and I definitely don't take a grade for it. My students earn points for different home assignments and the points are redeemed in a class store. |
