Some of these assignments are practice with what I taught that day and sometimes they are in preparation for the following day, e.g. prelabs, etc. Unfortunately, I have several students in each period that just aren't doing the homework. Help me! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have learned that homework is a problem, no matter what grade level you are teaching. First thing is that homework needs to be at an appropriate level of difficulty, neither too hard to be frustrating or too easy to seem like busy work. It also needs to be meaningful and well-integrated into class activities. It also needs to be clearly assigned. Homework needs to be fun, creative, and involve high-level thought and students need to be held accountable for doing their homework. The most important thing to remember as a teacher is to learn from your students, don't blame them.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Rated On: February 25, 2013 1:48 pm Rated By: eruHeB
