  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!)
Students need to know that completing homework is an expectation, it is not optional. Once that conversation is had, you could set up a rewards system for students who do complete their homework. For those students who do not complete their homework they need to receive an immediate consequence, for instance, instead of going to an elective class they have to spend the time completing their homework.
