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!)
Homework should be assigned to reinforce lessons that have been taught during the instructional period. I feel that home work should be agreed upon by administration and letters sent to parents to make them aware of the expectation set by your school. I can not see this being an issue if the expectation is set. The homework should be aligned to academic standards and relevant to lessons taught. Try implementing an incentive for students to help them become acclimated to completing homework on a consistent basis. A good incentive based program would include an ice cream social or a "dance revolution" party for classes who have 100% participation. Teachers will be responsible for tracking and reporting completed assignments to the admin team with fidelity. Parent signatures should also be required for completion of homework daily by the student. Good Luck! |

| Comments: Agreed completely - homework is a reinforcement, and students should know what the expectation is when completing these assessments of understanding for what they are being taught. Not doing your homework? Grades will suffer. That simple. |

| Comments: This solution is best because it gives students a reason to want to do their homework, aside from their grades. For some, grades are just not enough incentive. Setting expectations is important, especially if it was previously known that some students would be coming in having never done homework. |

| Comments: Be reinforcing these expectations to the parents, you bring another authority figure into the equation. Many of these students might just not be used to the honework, and don't know how to tackle the idea of it! Definitely use incentives as well, even if it's something small so there's positive reinforcement for forming good habits |
