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!) When I assign homework, I give the students a 100 if the assignment is completed, a 50 if the assignment is at least half way completed, and a 0 if it is not turned in (these grades count a third of a test grade). The motivation is the grade. As far as the parent, I would run a biweekly report on homework assignments (like a report card that shows dates of assignments and grades). I would have them sent home to be signed by parents and brought back. If students do not bring them back, a copy will be mailed to the home. A copy of the report will be dated and placed in the child's classroom file in case it is needed for a parent meeting.                 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: This is a good solution, however a weekly report card could be extremely time consuming if done for every student.

This shows an effort of the teacher to work as a partner with the parents and shows students that they will need to be accountable for their homework assignments.

Having parents sign biweekly reports is a good method to get the parents involved and keep the students on track with their assignments.
