Case: Homework Issues
In one of my classes, on average, about 20 out of the 30 students never complete their homework. Though I feel homework is crucial for students to demonstrate what they have learned during class, I do not give it every night; only about 3 nights per week and when I do assign it, it is never more than ten problems (usually 5-8). I'll even give a student a 70 if they turn it in the next day as a late grade. I have had discussions with students both individually and as a whole group, sent home notice of concerns to parents to notify them that their students are not completing assignments. Still, halfway through the semester and nothing is changing. Is there anything different I can do on my part? Should I offer rewards even though homework is expected to be done? These are 10th graders... is there something else I could try?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would talk to the department head and see about addressing this issue at your next department meeting. Chances are, you are not the only teacher in your department struggling with this issue. Maybe even bring an administrator into the meeting and ask for support in this area. I would suggest starting to use a system where a certain number of times that a student fails to do their homework results in a detention of some sort. You could also implement homework quizzes and increase their weight in the gradebook. |
