Q1 What are some of the challenges with traditional homework as it currently exists? #NYEDChat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1 HW is often an afterthought, something that is given because it's expected #nyedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky so funny, Brian. Love the humor as always. #nyedchat

MattPorricelli Oct 31 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: HW is too much about compliance & completion and not enough about authentic learning experiences #hackinghomework #nyedchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 thanks Greg :) #nyedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@conniehamilton A1 after effects of HW sometimes ricochet #nyedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 @mssackstein It is the TTWWADI bug that infects our way of thinking about HW. #NYEDChat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@cvarsalona Completely agree #nyedchat

pat_walshEDU Oct 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#NYEDChat a1. It seems to cause tension between kids and parents during some of the few moments they have together.

conniehamilton Oct 31 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Can cause more problems in the long run than not assigning it to begin with. #NYEDchat https://t.co/cJGD7m5BqB

A1 @jazzmeister2013 So true. We need Ss to love learning and apply it in a way that encourages then to learn more. #NYEDChat

randysquier Oct 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 Ss don't see value in HW, especially if they've learned it. Some Ss wonder why they can't have time to finish work in school. #NYedchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@cvarsalona Putting growth mindset to work! #NYEDchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 Students can be doing real life learning that connects to school nightly, like they already do #nyedchat

@LYRichardson I'm w/you on the last point. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around "too spontaneous." You mean hasty & rash? #nyedchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2- Like @MattPorricelli said earlier, HW that gets Ss reading, engaging in exploration and play; collab w/ family. Fun learning. #NYEDchat

whiteeducator Oct 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Nightly hw could be to study, read, complete a task. Make sure to give clear directions & a reflection sheet to fill/turn in! #nyedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 To get around nightly HW policies districts need to reimagine homework to motivate Ss to be lifelong learners. #NYEDChat

@cybraryman1 Thanks for dropping into #NYEDChat tonight, Jerry. We value your input. #edchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@randysquier is there value in it as it traditionally exists, given just because we have to? #nyedchat

@mssackstein I agree. And if it can be completed on their phones, you're more likely to see a response. #nyedchat

MattPorricelli Oct 31 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: give Ss voice & choice in what their HW assignments are - let them choose how to connect their learning at home to school #nyedchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 31 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2- HW for the sake of having HW is meaningless. HW needs to be meaningful, or not be assigned. Opps for reading and reflecting. #NYEDchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@randysquier Everyone seems to have their own agenda and none of it includes what students want or need #nyedchat

A2. Institute exploratory assignments that require higher level thinking. Have assignments that require S 2 complete at their pace #NYEDChat

LYRichardson Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@conniehamilton I provided a TIMELINE of activities and suggested Ss PREPARE for class based on timeline. #nyedchat

brianrozinsky Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 Glad I work where there aren't nightly HW policies. If there's urge to "get around" 'em, larger discussion begging to be had. #nyedchat

randysquier Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 why would any district set a HW policy? Too deep in the weeds for a BOE to be setting policy on HW. #NYedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 @jazzmeister2013 Meaningful tasks help students see clearly as they walk their paths of learning. #NYEDChat

whiteeducator Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@conniehamilton Reflecting is a skill we don't teach enough / make time for in class. Valuable life skill to learn/use beyond hw. #NYEDchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@chadw675 Reading is important and we should foster a love of it, but we shouldn't require logs when we ask them to do it #nyedchat

jazzmeister2013 Oct 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@chadw675 Yes! Ss choice builds Ss interest, which builds Ss time spent actively reading, which builds reading capacity, etc. #NYEDchat

MrDataGuy Oct 31 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky @LYRichardson Perhaps not based on evidence of learning or needing practice #nyedchat

conniehamilton Oct 31 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Do you teach reflection or assign reflection as homework? I'm confused. #NYEDchat https://t.co/95KvHGRU6b

@conniehamilton Reflecting is a skill we don't teach enough / make time for in class. Valuable life skill to learn/use beyond hw. #NYEDchat

@AReichelELA if it can be completed without too much thought,it probably isn't worth it... we need to get kids thinking/connecting #nyedchat

@MrDataGuy @brianrozinsky @LYRichardson Welcome to #NYEDChat Jim.

MRAROOM12 Oct 31 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: Get rid of assigning HW! How about having Ss complete unfinished work from school? Writing pieces could have deadlines #NYEDchat

LYRichardson Oct 31 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@MrDataGuy @brianrozinsky Worked for admin who believed HW = ONLY work already practiced in class. NO or LITTLE new learning #nyedchat

conniehamilton Oct 31 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: When we include more choice and voice, the learning experience will be more effective. #NYEDchat https://t.co/zu6ihpzxSo

a3 Effective learning experience at HOME can be family read aloud, conversations, independent rdg, writing-creative pursuits? #NYEDChat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 Homework should be all about student passion and play connected to what is happening during the day. Kids need to have fun #nyedchat

whiteeducator Oct 31 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@mssackstein Yes to self-assessment!!! HWs where kids can self-assess are the best! #nyedchat

@whiteeducator guess I misunderstood, I thought you said we don't teach reflection enough. #NYEDchat

mssackstein Oct 31 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@smithdianemarie @chadw675 it would ruin mine. As a matter of fact, lesson planning does that. In the traditional sense #nyedchat

A6 First we need to DEFINE what we mean by HW. What role does it play in curriculum? AGAIN it's the VISION thing. #nyedchat

@drjoy77 Yes, great reflective practice with child, Lynell. #NYEDChat

#NYEDChat A6 Love to make HW fun and meaningful but if its all a game when do kids quietly #read and the deep thinking needed to #write ?

@box886 reading and writing are important - the trick is to model and encourage these practices so that they become passions. #nyedchat
