Helping Your StudentsWith Homework
A Guide for Teachers

Foreword
Homework practices vary widely. Some teachers make brilliant assignments that combine learning
and pleasure. Others use homework as a routine to provide students with additional practice on
important activities. And, unfortunately, some assign ©busyworkª that harms the educational
process, by turning students offÅnot only making them feel that learning is not enjoyable or
worthwhile, but that their teachers do not understand or care about them.
Homework has long been a mainstay of American education for good reason: it extends time
available for learning, and children who spend more time on homework, on average, do better in
school. So how can teachers ease homework headaches?
The ideas in this booklet are based on solid educational research. The information comes from a
broad range of top-notch, experienced teachers. As you read through, you will find some familiar
ideas, but may also find tips and assignments that suit your teaching needs and style.
Students, teachers, and parents or caregivers all play vital roles in the homework process. I
challenge you to contribute all you can to making homework meaningful and beneficial for your
students.
