Description

At last, a book that forever solves the debate over whether homework is an essential component of rigorous schooling or a harmful practice. Veteran teacher, trainer, professor, consultant, and author Cathy Vatterott distills her years of experience with all kinds of schools into a balanced approach that ensures homework leads to more opportunities for learning and teaching without turning off parents and students. Explore a new paradigm that helps you understand

How to avoid the “homework trap.”
Why viewing homework as formative feedback is the most powerful way to transform homework policies and practices.
How to differentiate homework assignments to your students.
Which teacher behaviors and attitudes reinforce good homework practices.
How to ensure students complete homework and get adequate time and support.

Because most educators have never been trained in effective homework practices, this guide is loaded with valuable tips and strategies you won’t find anywhere else, including:

Seven steps to building better relationships with parents about homework.
Ten commonsense tips from teachers about homework.
Four components of high-quality homework tasks.
Six ways to differentiate homework assignments.
