Reflections

As a culminating task for this lesson, reflect on your own beliefs, expectations, and practices.

  • Does my school have a homework policy?
  • Are the parents aware of the policy and do they support it?
  • Am I evaluating my students’ homework assignments effectively?
  • How am I employing both single-skill and cumulative practice in my homework assignments?
  • How do I regularly provide feedback on homework? Do I provide constructive or instructive comments on graded papers?
  • How much practice time do my students get prior to being assigned homework?
  • How do my beliefs about the value of homework align with or conflict with district and school policy?
