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!)
In my middle school, we had a similar problem. My principal created "honor passes" that worked really well with the students. The students were only allowed a certain number of missed assignments before their honor pass was taken away. The honor pass let students be first in the lunch line, leave two minutes early, and could be traded in if they got a detention. It was a really great motivator and more students completed homework assignments. |

Comments: This is a great idea. Letting students have the ability to basically be in charge of their consequences. They know going into it that if they do not complete their homework assignments off hand what the consequences will be which lets them feel in control when the teacher is still in control. |
