  Case: Homework Challenge
I am in a classroom as an intern, it is self-contained ESE. These students are very bright, but yet because of their disabilities they are not given any homework or things to complete at home. The issue that I am seeing is that the parents are not being trusted to accomplish something with their child at home. When I asked why they weren't given homework, I was told that it would never get done anyway. I understand where the teacher is coming from, but I feel that the students should at least learn accountability as they transition into extended graduation program even if it means getting a signature on a piece of paper. My concern, as I go into my own classroom soon is what I would do if it were my classroom? Am I seeing all the perspectives? As a new teacher, what advice would you give me?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree that student's should learn some form of accountability and responsibility. This will only benefit the students. I think it would be good to give homework in your future classroom. You could give homework that reviews concepts that have already been discussed. You could even do half of the homework in class and leave the other half for the students to finish. This way they have something to reference and their parents can determine what they are learning and whether they are assisting them with their homework properly!

Comments: I like this idea because it ensures that the students know how to do the homework, and now it is just up to the students to complete the assignment at home.

Comments: This could really help both the teacher and the student out. That way, the teacher is helping the students understand their assignment, and the students understand how to do the assignment when they get home. It is also a good idea with parents when it comes to helping with homework. A lot of parents do not know how to help with homework, and if half of the homework is already done for them, it will be easier for parents to help!

Comments: I agree with this solution that homework does produce responsibility and accountability. Even though the student's in this specific scenario are ESE students does not mean they do not need these valuable characteristics. I especially like the idea that doing half the homework in class and sending the rest home to complete would be beneficial because it does not only allow the student do their own homework, but allows time for the parents to see what the student is working on too.

Comments: This is a wonderful. I feel it would cut down on a lot of stress and anxiety related to homework. I love the idea you had about half of the homework being done in class and half outside of class. I think this is a great way for parents to better understand what their child is doing and how to better assist the student with needed skills as it gives multiple opportunities for learning the student may not other wise have.

Comments: This is a very strong solution. It is very important for students to have homework and continue trying to learn. Also, as a teacher it is important to create our own teaching methods. Just because the teacher you are currently with doesn't give homework doesn't mean you can't in the future. Students will get homework eventually and the earlier they are prepared for it, the better.
