The Homework Excuse Management System
http://www.terry-freedman.org.uk/artman/publish/article_121.shtml The Homework Excuse Management System This spreadsheet was intended to be a bit of fun: I wanted to see if it was possible to automate a system I originally devised in 1978 to cut down on the number of assignments not handed in, or handed in late. What I did was to issue each student with a list of about 50 excuses, and told them that whenever they didn't feel like doing an assignment, they should tell me the number of the excuse they were using, and cross it off on thei own sheet so that they didn't inadvertently use the same excuse again. The number of missed or late assignments that year -- and subsequent years -- declined to almost zero. The spreadsheet itself is downloadable from ... http://www.terry-freedman.org.uk/artman/uploads/hems.xls |

Homework. - An Online Policy Tool
http://www.enc.org/features/focus/archive/homework/document.shtm?input=FOC-003321-index Homework. It's an issue, isn't it? How much to give, when to give it, what to do with it, why it's important... We've organized a professional development tool--complete with personal assessment and reflection, vignettes and selected readings, small group discussion questions, and thoughtful extension suggestions--to stimulate strategic consideration of what role you want homework to play in your own classroom. There's also a facilitator handout so that group leaders know what to prepare and how to guide the discussion. This tool can be used individually, but it is primarily intended to be implemented in a group setting, possibly at the school or district level. Collaborative reflection with your peers, whether in a group of 2 or 3 or larger, will facilitate a deeper understanding of the issues and pave the way toward successful integration of a meaningful, cohesive homework plan. |

Helping Your Students With Homework
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/HelpingStudents/index.html Helping Your Students With Homework : A Guide for Teachers 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 "busywork" that harms the educational process, by turning students off - not 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. |

DfEE Advice (UK)
http://www.dfee.gov.uk/a-z/HOMEWORK.html It is good practice for heads to bring DfEE guidance to the notice of staff, governors and also parents, consider the amount of time that pupils of different ages and aptitudes should spend on homework, review the management of homework in the curriculum and involve parents’ representatives in discussions on the role that parents can play and how they might be educated in that role. |

Keeping Track of Homework
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/%7Eetfreedman/29.htm Keeping a diary of homework you’ve set your classes is not only a good idea from the point of view of knowing what the students should be handing in for marking, but also gives you an overview of the homework that you have set over time or between different groups. Moreover, it can act as independent "evidence" that you’ve actually set homework, should anyone enquire. |

Help Your Child With Homework
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/parents/Homework/index.html The Office of Educational Research and Improvement has produced Helping Your Child With Homework to contribute to the drive to increase family involvement in children's learning.
