Why Are We Teaching Organization and Homework Strategies? Learning to plan effectively enhances students’ ability to make sense of their world and experience. (Dewey, 1980; Gardner, 1983; Marzano, 2003; Vygotsky, 1978) Students who complete and turn in homework do better in school. (Cooper, Lindsay, Nye & Greathouse,1998) Students who are exposed to variety of study strategies are higher achievers. (Meneghetti, De Beni & Cornoldi, 2007)
