  • chaaven Apr 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    Q2: What objectives do you have in mind when you’re creating homework assignments? #gfedchat
  • kseniakelly1 Apr 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    Oksana Kelly, SWEP. #gfedchat
  • msolberg120 Apr 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT

  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 9:40 PM EDT
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2: For me, my objective is to just practice reading familiar texts. I want students to share their success with their families #gfedchat
  • msolberg120 Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2. As a CTP, I am lucky to not have to give homework! When teaching K, I used the curriculum assigned parent connections. #gfedchat
  • Carlson2ndGrade Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2: My goal is just for students to read and to have some additional practice of concepts we learned that day in math. #gfedchat
  • AndeeThompson1 Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2 making sure it’s purposeful and not busy work #gfedchat
  • judyinmiddle Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    Judy Anderson AP at Schroeder #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2: Is there a purpose (skill practice, deeper thinking practice) or is it just busy work. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2: As a middle school U.S. history teacher, I assigned very little homework because the most important WORK was done in class (collaborative, project-based, inquiry, etc.) #gfedchat
  • mbadger2121 Apr 9 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A2: If I provide homework for the students, it is usually connected to the unit we are working on. Math concepts, Book we read, writing story cut into words to glue together to share at home. #gfedchat
  • SkoolCNSLR_Mc Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: student mastery and the ability to work with adult at home to showcase what they are learning and become the teacher of the lesson. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: My "homework" is typically given to practice a speech or language target skill in the home setting - after I feel we have had success in therapy. #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    agree, I don't assign homework because we are doing hands on or skill practice in class. But I still make sure the in class work isn't busy work/time filler #gfedchat
    In reply to @joelschleicher
  • bryanwalls2 Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: I do not have a lot of homework in Art. Sketches are about just practicing skills. #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2 If the assignment is specifically homework, it would be to get the expertise of family or friends. Try to avoid homework for the sake of homework. #gfedchat
  • BuchhopTeach Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: Really only do math sometimes, and ask them to read as much as possible at home. Purposeful. I truly feel that the most important things we do happen at school, and that at home they can work on being kids. #gfedchat
  • MrsGV3 Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: I use homework as a reinforcement of our class work. I keep it simple and make it so even if a student may not have support at home, they can do some of it. #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A2: How well did the students learn today's lesson? How much independence can they demonstrate? What do I still need to reteach? It also demonstrates smaller characteristics of responsibility, grit, and perseverance. #gfedchat
  • MRT_Tweet5 Apr 9 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A1: Purpose and a goal. What’s the end game? #gfedchat
  • Beaufump Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: The only time a student has homework in my classes is if they didn't get something done in class. I'm not really a fan. #gfedchat
  • gduce12 Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    #gfedchat A2, not much homework given by me in PE
  • Klarson010 Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: How can I help Ss practice art techniques, learn about artists & styles. How can I deepen knowledge for Ss with my curriculum #gfedchat
    In reply to @chaaven
  • thager040 Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: At the preschool level, I occasionally send home activities that children can do with help from a parent. The activity would be something to reinforce the school readiness goals that we are working on. #gfedchat
  • NLeeGFC Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: I mostly do independent reading, but for any others, I try to make it an opportunity to practice key skills learned in class. Also brief. #gfedchat
  • kseniakelly1 Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: with SWEP students the only reason we would assign homework is to complete the longer projects: read the book, or complete some writing - just because we only see our students once a week. #gfedchat
  • BuchhopTeach Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2 Cont: Or - if Ss want to continue to work on something at home, or don't finish it in class for some reason #gfedchat
  • judyinmiddle Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: What critical content / skills do my students need to continue the thinking? #gfedchat
  • AmyRogers27 Apr 9 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A2: what will Ss learn from this? Allow enough class time to work, so that it doesn’t have to go home. #gfedchat
  • Grade2Connect Apr 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2: #gfedchat Reinforce or practice a skill. Very little homework in 2nd grade.
  • MrsH_511 Apr 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2-As a special ed. teacher, I don't have many hw tasks. I do teach an intervention math class & we have some math hw to practice the skills. I look at what they're ready to practice on their own. #gfedchat
  • kcebula Apr 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2: purpose, more practice, create habits in reading, #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2: If it is homework is is independent practice on a secure skill. Otherwise, I want to be able to monitor practice to correct errors and redirect students as needed. #gfedchat
  • MarkBry2 Apr 9 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A2: much of my class is based on projects. The majority of homework in my class is when students need a bit more time to finish.#gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: I love when students have created their own homework-they were interested in something we're doing in school and want to learn more, on their own time. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: The objectives and purpose of homework SHOULD BE TO get students “primed to learn more” and give them “something to think about” #gfedchat
  • rcorbin040 Apr 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: I don't give much "assigned" homework. When I do, it is usually an extension or project from class that would create conversation with parents/students. #gfedchat
  • 5thPhelps Apr 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: math concepts to practice/explain at home, reading self-selected books. #gfedchat
  • kaialunde Apr 9 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A2: I want students to have an opportunity to show me their application of what we learned in class. I like them to use their creativity and to find something that really interests them! #gfedchat
  • MsHellyersClass Apr 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    Sarah Hellyer, EL, GFC/RRHS #gfedchat
  • SWallsRRHS Apr 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A2: to enhance learning or as an introductory activity. but i dont assign home-homework. the Ss get time in class to complete the task #gfedchat
  • emiliahodgson Apr 9 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    How did I miss “share your favorite GIF” #gfedchat night?!?
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: as a 1st grader, my son has homework 2-3x a week. It isn't a lot, but I am glad he has it because it helps keep me informed as a parent of what he is learning, how he is thinking and allows me to have great conversations at home. Parent involvement is a reason too! #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    ...but, we have to be careful with independent practice, because according to Hattie, "For too many students, homework reinforces that they cannot learn by themselves, and that they cannot do the schoolwork." #gfedchat

    A2: Reflection of learning that was taught in class #gfedchat
  • san35090 Apr 9 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A3: is it just to do busy work where it could have been done at school? We do not want to do homework, so....why should Ss? We have other jobs, so do Ss. Punishment??? or Learning??? #gfedchat #busywork #burnout
  • MsHellyersClass Apr 9 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: My objectives are to make homework meaningful to my students. They need to know that it has purpose behind it in our goals. Although, I do not give homework very often, because they receive class time to work on assignments. #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2 As a teacher I used to think of homework as giving independent practice. As a mom, it creates tension & arguments especially when it feels like time management craziness for my family. #gfedchat
  • chaaven Apr 9 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Q3: How much homework do you think the average student has per night? How much should they have? What steps can we take to make these numbers the same? #gfedchat
  • KJWirt Apr 9 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    KariHearn sped GFC #gfedchat
  • KJWirt Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A2: no homework really in special ed but would meet a goal that ss is working on #gfedchat
  • mbadger2121 Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A3: Depends on the grade level. Elementary 20 minutes of enjoyable reading is recommended I think Math homework once a week would be ok. #gfedchat
  • MRT_Tweet5 Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A3: No idea...old rule of thumb 10 minutes per grade level. #gfedchat
  • NLeeGFC Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A3: Guessing an hour or so. I like Finland's approach to hw. Next year, I'm only doing independent reading. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A3: Not sure how much. It varied a lot when my daughter was in school. Lots in 4-8th grade, varied in HS. Agree with Kari - need a balance. Stress to get it done interfered with actual "learning" at times. #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    I agree. Homework is no big deal if the student knows what to do and has the time to do it. If I don't know what to do (Calculus) I created a long list of what I need teacher help in the morning, everyday. Ugh. #gfedchat
    • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:47 PM EDT
      ...but, we have to be careful with independent practice, because according to Hattie, "For too many students, homework reinforces that they cannot learn by themselves, and that they cannot do the schoolwork." #gfedchat
      In reply to @n8olson31
  • Carlson2ndGrade Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: It depends on the grade level but I don't think elementary students should have much more than 20 mins. a night and that should mostly be time spent reading. #gfedchat
  • bryanwalls2 Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: Needs to be balanced. #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    Q3: Read for enjoyment and when you are faced with a math problem (real world - store, sales, etc) in daily life - enough homework! Make it meaningful practice - authentic - secure skills only. #gfedchat
  • BuchhopTeach Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: Depends on grade level. Elementary school I don't think really needs it except reading. Otherwise I would see only doing it if it actually helped extend learning in higher grades instead of give busy work that they might not be able to do with out help. #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I have heard of HS with 2+ hrs, which in my mind is too much! They have activities, jobs, and need down time. I think the goal should be to be productive during class time no matter what age #gfedchat
  • kaialunde Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I honestly have no idea. I'm sure it depends on the grade level of the student and the classes he or she has. I think they should have homework in a few classes, but not in each class every night. #gfedchat
  • KJWirt Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I think to give approx half hour of work during class time to work on depending on situation. For those that don't use time wisely then have HW #gfedchat
  • msolberg120 Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3. I would guess that elementary students have 1 hour or less. I have heard that middle and high school is closer to 2-4 hours per night. I think it should be closer to one hour at all ages. #gfedchat
  • SkoolCNSLR_Mc Apr 9 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: this can be very tough for a teacher and Ss. We all think out subjects are the most important but how to we balance it among a full course load schedule. Also what might take some Ss 15 minuets to complete May take another an hour or more #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: I think it depends on the age. But younger kids are receiving a lot of HW (in my opinion) when they may not have the home support to complete it. Reading is recommended, but beyond that I think it should be limited to meaningful applications #gfedchat
  • Beaufump Apr 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: I have had high school students tell me that they have HOURS of homework every night. The nights are too short for that in my opinion. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: This is not an endorsement, but the “guideline” of grade-level x 10 minutes is somewhat of a "standard" some follow #gfedchat
  • rcorbin040 Apr 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A3: Definitely a tough one. Absolutely no more than 30 min, but I am sure that gets hard to manage once kids start changing classes. #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    I agree. The nights are short and family time (if available) is important. Our kids & their parents are stressed out when they have to cram in too much homework #gfedchat
    • Beaufump Apr 9 @ 9:53 PM EDT
      A3: I have had high school students tell me that they have HOURS of homework every night. The nights are too short for that in my opinion. #gfedchat
  • MsHellyersClass Apr 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A3:I think some homework is fine, but not in every class every night. #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A3: Is it meaningful? Or is it filling in the blank of worksheets? My HS child does A LOT of worksheets and packets. Pages and pages of fill in the blank - google-able facts. Busy Work! #gfedchat
  • 5thPhelps Apr 9 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    At BF in 5th Grade we ask for 20 mins of ind. reading to self or reading to someone and some nights math practice that takes about 10 minutes. Really trying to build the responsibility as these students head to MS #gfedchat
  • MrsH_511 Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3-It varies so much, but I would guess 45 min in 8th grade. It just depends on what it happening in the various classes. #gfedchat
  • kseniakelly1 Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: I really like the "flipped" classroom where students read over the new material at home, and then discuss it and ask questions in the classroom - seems to be much more effective to me. #gfedchat
  • MarkBry2 Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: maybe 1-2 nights a week in the 7th grade would be the norm on my team. Some students might have a little more or less.#gfedchat
  • SWallsRRHS Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: for HS students it depends on the class and the teacher. some Ss have several hrs/night. Some Ss have zero. Some Ss use every spare minute in school to complete work so they dont have to take it home. Why do the numbers have to be the same? #gfedchat
  • Klarson010 Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: In high school, homework in 3 or more subjects. Practice of learned material helps deepen knowledge, so homework but not each night. #gfedchat
    In reply to @chaaven
  • Grade2Connect Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: Elementary maybe 20 minutes with math home links and reading. Going through MS and HS with my daughters it was 1-2 hours. Too much busy work and packets. #gfedchat
  • MrsGV3 Apr 9 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A3: All Ss are different so the amount of time spent will be different. I usually say 15-20 minutes of reading...but I do not track this. I also encourage parents to read to their child! Family time + books = Powerful #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    What happens when teachers don't communicate and students get double or triple the minutes... seems to happen as students get to high school. Hours and hours of homework. #gfedchat
    In reply to @joelschleicher
  • kcebula Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: Depends on grade/age, 2nd grade is not much, I think reading should always be something we strive for at night #gfedchat
  • AmyRogers27 Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: depends...on the grade level. Too many hours....depending on subject/T. Ss are involved in so many activities, or need to help with siblings...doesn’t seem fair to pile on the homework. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: There are so many variables that could impact the the average amount of HW student has each night. (grade level, course, teacher, etc.) #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: I don't think we can make a blanket statement about how much time but I think older Ss might read or pursue something they want to learn if their evenings didn't have as much homework. #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    A3: On average I give hw 2x per week in my 8th math, 3x per week in Enriched Algebra. Most assignments can be completed in class or with a few extra minutes- never more than 20min at home #gfedchat
  • thager040 Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    A3: I think that homework in elementary should be mainly reading (20 minutes or whatever). It seems like the amounts vary from grade to grade and teacher to teacher. Ex.) My K child has more homework than my 5th grader. #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    This happens in elementary too. When the teacher, sped teacher, and even the reading specialist are all expecting tasks to be done at night, it becomes too much. We need to communicate to make sure we aren't bogging Ss down. #gfedchat
    In reply to @JessieRErickson, @joelschleicher
  • sgalegher120 Apr 9 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    A3: Homework must be meaningful, reinforcing, or flipping classroom. Sometimes is 'cuz did n't finish in class. #gfedchat
  • MrsH_511 Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    This is true. As a young child, I enjoyed reading. Through MS and HS, I didn't read anything but what was assigned. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed reading for pleasure until after I finished college. #gfedchat
    In reply to @KariMelland
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    Or when Ss are set up to have a TON of homework because all their midterms/finals/ projects are due over two days. Employees would quit if that happened to them, twice a year, every year. Ss don't have a choice. #gfedchat
    • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
      What happens when teachers don't communicate and students get double or triple the minutes... seems to happen as students get to high school. Hours and hours of homework. #gfedchat
      In reply to @joelschleicher
  • PageKristy Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A3: 3-3.5 hours per night. Less than that. Make more time for individual teaching within the school day? #gfedchat
  • chaaven Apr 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    Q4: How lenient are you with students and at what point can that become a problem? #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    The very few times my 10 yr old has had homework, it usually turns into a fight to do it because she is so burnt out from the school day #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    Agree!!! We can only control the time we have with the kiddos. Practice under our supervision is best. Home isn't always the best place to practice - too many other demands! #gfedchat
    In reply to @MsBlakeman, @joelschleicher
  • mbadger2121 Apr 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A4: Very lenient, ss should receive 2nd chances and opportunities to learn and fix problems/situations #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 10:00 PM EDT
    A3: The total hw time is becoming more variable as more classes move toward Problem/Project Based Learning. The amount of time at home depends on use of class time, topic chosen, amount of depth, etc. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Apr 9 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    It can be real life too. I don't quit even though I have 25 progress notes, a diagnostic report and and IEP all due on the same day. I have to figure it out. #gfedchat
    • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 9:59 PM EDT
      Or when Ss are set up to have a TON of homework because all their midterms/finals/ projects are due over two days. Employees would quit if that happened to them, twice a year, every year. Ss don't have a choice. #gfedchat
      • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 9:56 PM EDT
        What happens when teachers don't communicate and students get double or triple the minutes... seems to happen as students get to high school. Hours and hours of homework. #gfedchat

  • NLeeGFC Apr 9 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: I'm too lenient with due dates. It didn't encourage Ss to turn things in on time. It just made the problem worse. #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: I am very lenient with Ss because mine are young. If they don't get their reading done I ask them to try again the next day. Or, I find an older buddy to help them complete the reading at schl. If my Ss aren't getting it done, it's not their fault. #gfedchat
  • sgalegher120 Apr 9 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: Each Ss has own story, adjust accordingly. Try not to set precedence. Still have high reachable standards. ??#gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 10:01 PM EDT
    A4: Take time to get to know your students on a personal level, you soon realize who has support and time to practice at home and who does not. Students have demands at home, Parents have demand, life gets in the way - we can only control the time we have with them. #gfedchat
  • kcebula Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    A4: I try to be understanding, unless it's a habit, then I find out why it's not being done at home, every situation is different for every child, some have chaotic life so it won't be done at home #gfedchat
  • BuchhopTeach Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    A4: Very Lenient. I don't grade HW or use it for RC or grades / points. It is a practice - and also a quick check for me to see what they can do on their own or if we need to revisit / reteach the next day #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    A4: I guess since I don't give actual homework the leniency thing isn't an issue. If they don't finish it during the set time and I know it is a student that has no support at home, I find other class time for him/her to finish (trying to avoid recess if possible) #gfedchat
  • Beaufump Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    A4: I've been thinking about this lately. I do think I'm too lenient. It's usually because I know something about their home life or things that they have going on. I might need to toughen up a bit. :) #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    A4: I always accept late work at full credit. It definitely allows for those times when life interrupts- concerts, sports, illness, family obligations, etc. However, it has seemed that as I have given less HW & accepted late HW, complete rate has decreased. #gfedchat
  • SWallsRRHS Apr 9 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: i have become very lenient and for most it doesnt matter because they complete the task within a reasonable amount of time. others...well that a completely different story. #gfedchat
  • bryanwalls2 Apr 9 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: I give them a little bit of room. When i feel they abuse it. #gfedchat

    Very lenient. It’s become a problem. It’s hard to find a balance. #gfedchat
  • 5thPhelps Apr 9 @ 10:03 PM EDT
    A4: If a student comes needing help, had a bad night, or doesn’t have home support I’m always willing to help-just find time in the day to sit down 1:1 #gfedchat
  • Carlson2ndGrade Apr 9 @ 10:03 PM EDT

  • MsHellyersClass Apr 9 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: #gfedchat I don't give out homework very often. When homework or a project is due, I expect that it is done on time. Ss always have the option to turn something in late, but if it's late then points will be taken off.
  • MrsH_511 Apr 9 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4-Depends on the Ss situation. Knowing the Ss situations helps me make that decision. #gfedchat
  • kseniakelly1 Apr 9 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: lenient - our goal is Ss mastery of the content or skill. They won't learn if punished, they will learn if allowed more time to do it and supported. #gfedchat
  • Klarson010 Apr 9 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    A4: It depends; I encourage Ss to relearn & continue a project or rework for a better grade. I'm consistent with final due dates #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    i.e formative assessment along the way and any summative assessments should be at the conclusion of an authentic project for an authentic audience. #gfedchat

  • san35090 Apr 9 @ 10:05 PM EDT

  • MarkBry2 Apr 9 @ 10:05 PM EDT
    Seems like their are more students with real life struggles each year. Adjusting work is part of the game for many #gfedchat
  • Grade2Connect Apr 9 @ 10:05 PM EDT
    A4: #gfedchat Very lenient. There is usually a valid reason that it isn't getting done.
  • msolberg120 Apr 9 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4. I could see this being a problem with students who take advantage of your leniency. I know I went to school with some people who would take advantage of opportunities like this. #gfedchat
  • kaialunde Apr 9 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4: I'm more lenient than I should be. I want ss to do the work, but I am trying to be better about consequences (not full credit) if it's late. I want to prepare my ss for high school, college, and jobs, where deadlines are more serious. #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4 It's a balancing act. Teacher is lenient but then Ss doesn't complete practice HW, Ss gets more behind, understands less etc. feels less competent & can't get "caught" up. Doesn't care about learning, just getting a passing grade. No easy answer #gfedchat
    • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 10:02 PM EDT
      A4: I always accept late work at full credit. It definitely allows for those times when life interrupts- concerts, sports, illness, family obligations, etc. However, it has seemed that as I have given less HW & accepted late HW, complete rate has decreased. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4: I always accepted HW late. I wanted it to be about the learning rather than a lesson in responsibility. #gfedchat
  • MrsGV3 Apr 9 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    A4: I work with a diverse population of Ss. I've learned that I can only control what happens at school and I know that Ss that have support from home and those who may not have that so I do not check homework. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Apr 9 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A4: Glad this doesn't really apply too much to my area. Most families like some activities to practice to feel like they are helping to generalize a skill. I just like to communicate about ways they can help Ss with sp/lang. skills within their normal daily activities.#gfedchat
  • AmyRogers27 Apr 9 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A4: have a conversation as to why the assign isn’t done. Time to work in class, T could catch that S isn’t understanding material, or maybe something has happened. Build relationships. #gfedchat
  • thager040 Apr 9 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    A4: It's figuring out what is fair/right for each student. If there is not a support at home to help/encourage completion of homework, that complicates things. #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    THIS --> Very important points made Amy! #gfedchat

  • chaaven Apr 9 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    Q5: Do historically responsible students deserve more leniency than students who often struggle to turn work in on time? Why or why not? #gfedchat
  • KJWirt Apr 9 @ 10:10 PM EDT
    Q4: depends on kid but generally more support to start year until form handle on expectations and then back off more and more so they learn natural consequences #gfedchat
  • Carlson2ndGrade Apr 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    A5: Everyone deserves some leniency at times. It may depend on not only the child but the child's situation. #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Apr 9 @ 10:11 PM EDT
    A6: I think if you practice leniency then it should be applied to everyone. You never know why HW isn't being done. Build relationships and get to know your students to understand their struggles #gfedchat
  • kcebula Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: This is where conversations happen, find out why #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: I would say it depends on the child. Why isn't it being turned in mom/dad worked late, was watching siblings, has a job and had to work late, or just didn't care. There are so many variables that have to be considered #gfedchat
  • BuchhopTeach Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: I think it depends on the kid and their history - as you said. If its every single day they are turning it in late or not done - then there is a problem that needs to be solved or a skill to be built - and punishing them isn't going to fix it! #gfedchat
  • MarkBry2 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Teacher call I feel on this one. Lots of variables. Try to be consistent but yet fair/understanding.#gfedchat
  • judyinmiddle Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: students crave structure and consistency - help them with the learning and they will rise to expectations . There can be adjustments made formatively #gfedchat
  • bryanwalls2 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: No. Its about what each child needs. #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: I am not sure anyone deserves to be "punished" for not getting homework done. Take a few minutes to get to know the student and ask them what the barriers are... everyone deserves to be empowered, learn and supported. #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: I think you are equally lenient/strict with your students, but offer support or modifications to help meet that standard- tutoring session, modified questions, connect them to interventions, etc. #gfedchat
  • Klarson010 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A5: Not necessarily; it depends other factors include: accommodations from 504 & IEP, absent out of school situations, effort during class time #gfedchat
  • kseniakelly1 Apr 9 @ 10:12 PM EDT

    Again, huge struggle for me. Not going to give the right answer. The burnout on this at topics that arise from this is very real #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Apr 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: This is where student choice in relevant/authentic learning experience should should be priority over busy/home work. Too often HW becomes a means to pass a class. #gfedchat

    A5: I think expectations should be the same for all students as long as they are reasonable and achievable. #gfedchat
  • MsHellyersClass Apr 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: #gfedchat No, but by getting to know your students everyone deserves some leniency at times.
  • SWallsRRHS Apr 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: i have found that the Ss that are "responsible" and turn their work in on time will usually approach me and explain why he/she is not done. i respect that. my Ss that are habitually late, i remind them it is late & if it is excessively late then i dock points #gfedchat
  • Grade2Connect Apr 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: #gfedchat Teacher judgement based on your relationship with each student. Find out why a S is struggling to complete HW.
  • MrsGV3 Apr 9 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: No, but this boils down to understanding your Ss. If there's a student struggling to get work in, there's probably a reason. It is on us to support that student. @paulakluth says "Over, under, around or through...find a way or make a way." Ss want to succeed! #gfedchat
  • mbadger2121 Apr 9 @ 10:14 PM EDT

  • kaialunde Apr 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT
    A5: I think so. If they've shown they can be trusted and are responsible, I feel they can get a break every once in a while. Often times these ss are involved in many activities too and might have lots of other things going on outside of school. #gfedchat
  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

    A5: I give them to everyone, but I can see both sides #gfedchat

    A5:this needs to be taken on a case by case basis in looking at why hw was not completed. By saying that a historically responsible Ss reason for not doing hw is more valid, then their counterpart is ludicrous. Why is a student not completing hw, what’s the hurdle? #gfedchat

  • KariMelland Apr 9 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    I agree that we learn how to do it. Butt assigning all the work to Ss without support is not teaching, it's assigning. Ss don't have much control over their schedule. Ts have a little control so can rearrange their worktime or due date. #gfedchat

    A6-There is a lot to teach/learn & the days go by so quickly. I have found that when I insert movement/brain breaks that even though the breaks take time, my class goes by more smoothly. It's about how the class period or day is structured & the dynamics of the Ss. #gfedchat

  • clandsdown Apr 9 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    Overall, I agree. I didn't like it when my daughter was overwhelmed with hmwrk - she wasn't always learning, just being stressed. I do feel there is some element of needing to help older Ss figure out time management - but I don't like hmwrk that isn't meaningful. #gfedchat

  • Johnson5Century Apr 9 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A6 - It's near impossible. If all we were expected to do during the day is teach, then there'd be plenty of time! But, we are pulled in so many different directions (behaviors, winning decisions, 2nd step, IEP meetings, art, etc). But these are all wonderful things! #gfedchat
