  Case: Homework
How do you grade homework when the students are not turning it in? What are some motivational strategies to encourage students to do homework? Also, how do you deal with parents who irately insist that the teachers are not giving homework when homework is given each day?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Some motivational strategies I use to encourage students to turn in homework, is of course the grade, but I also use a ticket reward system as a positive behavior intervention. When the students turn their homework in on time, the get a ticket. At the end of the week they get to use the tickets to "purchase" items out of our classroom treasure chest. This seems to work well with my 4th and 5th grade students.
