I never gave any large, outside-of-class projects simply because most of my students did not have the resources to complete the projects. Also, many of my students worked close to full-time jobs. The middle school I teach at currently, the population is 67% Latino. Most parents are not proficient enough in English to help their kids, nor do they have the financial resources. What is an appropriate amount of classtime for projects? How much should I expect the students to be able to do outside of class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) It is completely understandable to complete projects in class for majority of the project. If you want to assign take home work make it parts of the projects that you know they can do on their own such as research because you have taken them to the school library to check out books or send them home with materials needed to complete certain parts of the project. To ensure they return the materials provide a reward.                 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: I would do the same. Let the students finish the project at home if you know they will be able to. Rated On: March 6, 2017 4:03 am Rated By: Jessica J.
