Many schools and nearly every teacher has a homework policy, but few are able to agree on what it should look like. And with all the competition on students’ time outside the school day, some are abandoning assigning homework altogether.  The presenters will lead participants through a series of questions surrounding assigning homework, such as: What is its purpose? What is a proper amount? What are the characteristics of a good homework assignment? How can it be assigned equitably considering the variety of student needs in our heterogeneous classes? How do we motivate students to complete it? How do we grade it? Participants will leave the session with clear direction and focus on how to revise their homework policies based on the needs of their current students. Join current classroom teachers and a language arts coordinator for a hot discussion on a hot topic!
