  1. Homework: Why, How, and When?

  2. Why? There are a number of research studies on homework and they reach different conclusions.

  3. Harris Cooper, 2000 A typical homework-completing high school student will outperform students who do not do homework by 69% on standardized tests.

  4. Debbie Reese, 1997 “Homework-completing junior high students outperform homework non-completers by 35%.  There seems to be no difference in scores in the elementary grades.”

  5. Kohn, 2006 Kohn concluded that research fails to demonstrate homework's effectiveness as an instructional tool and recommended changing the “default state” from an expectation that homework will be assigned to an expectation that homework will not be assigned.

  6. What they ALL agree on? “According to Kohn, teachers should only assign homework when they can justify that the assignments are “beneficial” ideally involving students in activities appropriate for the home, such as performing an experiment in the kitchen, cooking, doing crossword puzzles with the family, watching educational TV shows, or reading.”

  7. How? Effective homework is standards-based, motivating, engaging, inquiry-based, addresses misconceptions, provides timely feedback, and provides options for students to demonstrate proficiency.

  8. Examples of “good” homework
