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!) Setting the standards in the classroom is a must at the start of the year. Give the students a "contract" to sign so they know they are responsible for completing homework. Contact the parents of the students that don't complete their homework on a regular basis. Obviously their grades will suffer if they don't complete required assignments. I know that I didn't do my homework as a child. My grades suffered for it terribly. It didn't ruin my life though. And I know now that I was foolish to behave in such a manner. Best bet is to contact the parents and have proof that this was a standard set in the beginning of the school year. Lunch detention or after school detention could also work. |
