If a student doesn’t complete their homework, what then? I am not a believer in taking away recess, and I think many schools don’t encourage that either. I always use the rule “quality over quantity”. However, giving some homework is important because it allows parents to stay informed and actually see what is expected of their child.

I NEVER give my students homework on something I just taught them. It is very consistent and everyone knows what to expect! Here is the system I use every single week.

The BEST way to keep your routine consistent is to pick a resource to use for your homework for each subject and stick with it. There should never be the question of “What is our homework tonight?” because everyone already knows. Parents can also stay in control when they know what is expected. Keeping things consistent will keep students from getting confused and forgetting their homework. I have lots of tried-and-true tips for “EVERYTHING” homework related! Whether your issue is “How much should I give?”, “What is the best way to correct it?”, or “How can I make it more effective?”, I’ve got you covered. Managing homework is definitely something that many teachers struggle with.
