  Case: Assigning Homework
I am co-director for a STEM Academy at the high school that I teach at. One of the biggest struggles we have is students completing homework. This issue stems from the middle school they come from. Two different middle schools feed into our high school. One middle school does assign homework. The other middle school does not assign homework. Therefore, when the students get to high school half of our students will complete the homework, and the other half will not complete the homework. When analyzing the students that complete and do not complete the homework, the majority of the students that do not complete the homework are from the middle school that does not assign homework. What can I do as a teacher and co-director to aid in this issue of not completing homework?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Set up a reward system for completing homework assignments. You can also tell your students if a certain percent of students complete their homework this week the class will get a reward. If you do this each student will encourage each other to complete their homework.

Comments: Student harassment works best here. For those who didn't complete their homework, they would bring everyone else down and this makes them public enemy number one. I would also keep in mind that if the percentage does pass for the reward, that those who didn't do their homework wouldn't get to have the reward that they didn't work for.

Comments: Rewards are great, just be careful when using them since kids will get stuck on extrinsic rewards and not so much intrinsic rewards.
