Sean 4th grade T from Indiana #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:05 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY Yay! Sean's here! #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

Mandi, HS Math from MO. I love talking about no homework :-) #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 Homework should only be assigned in the upper grades as a chance to build on skills presented in class. #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: No hw in my room! I just ask my 2nds to read something of their choice to their families. If requested, I'll send books. #BSD7chat

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 I try not to give HW. I tell Ps at beginning of year that giving HW is not my goal as a T. #BSD7chat

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 Not in the classroom but I would love to have some sort of super low cost monthly family #STEM challenge as my "HW" if I was. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 I always encouraged my Ss to read, but that was about it. Gave up reading logs, too. No to HW! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Hey Mandi! Cool of you to join us! Woot!! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@MrHagemeister What would you define as "upper grades"? #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: I don't assign homework, I give opportunities for practice, preferably in class. I encourage Ss to practice what they need. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@mtkristigaines Awesome that you send books home. Great for Ss who don't have rich home libs. #BSD7chat

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

This would be fun #BSD7chat https://t.co/IhpeiulNEj

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 Not in the classroom but I would love to have some sort of super low cost monthly family #STEM challenge as my "HW" if I was. #BSD7chat

watsonmontana Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Great discussion about the purpose of homework tonight on #BSD7chat. I will follow along with much interest.

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura That would be exciting for families to partake in. Would you provide all supplies? #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1.2 If a student can't complete hw at home the skill must be retaught. Most research shows a negative impact below 9th grade #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY Good for you for being direct about it from the get-go. Ps need educating on no HW! #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jun 1 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura I love the #STEM challenge idea! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Love that you're teaching ur Ss some meta-cognition... to know what they need to practice! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Time for Q2... Share the pros and cons of HW. #BSD7chat @mtkristigaines @AdrianAdvinMT https://t.co/9OazHqfuT4

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Since coming back from Christmas break my students had ZERO assigned HW before it was weekly spelling prac #BSD7chat

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@rachelmarker If needed but it would be stuff like "what can you create with cardboard tubes?" #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@rachelmarker It's tough at first but I also make everything formative until sem end so Ss learn how to determine. #BSD7chat

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

About 4 wks in a get a large amount of notes & email...Johnny isn't bring any HE home, is this right? #BSD7chat https://t.co/7uVAjbpixD

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY Good for you for being direct about it from the get-go. Ps need educating on no HW! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:11 PM EDT

True. The research doesn't support HW in Elem/MS. Here are some articles: https://t.co/7F058rUVYl #BSD7chat https://t.co/nZan1jdyAS

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1.2 If a student can't complete hw at home the skill must be retaught. Most research shows a negative impact below 9th grade #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY I got the same from Ps. Some actually *wanted* HW. Others were thrilled that child had none. :) #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2 K8 Hw has been shown to have a neg impact on well being, fam relationships, and fam time with very little impact on achievement #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura Yah, perfect! #BSD7chat

kimforuria Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 I agree with no homework. I ask my students to read, but no more logs. Building a love of reading through choice! #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2: HW (practice) can reinforce skills but projects and conversation can do the same. If it goes home Ss probably don't have help. #BSD7chat

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2 Con of HW is that it is often given just because "It's the way we've always done it" #BSD7chat https://t.co/RJdId5hC9F

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@kimforuria Yes! Agree that making it required and filling out a log doesn't encourage a love of rdg. #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2.1 Hw is often times impacted by fam input rather than facilatation, which misleads true student understanding of concepts. #BSD7chat

watsonmontana Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: What can we do for those Ss who don't have outside support? Is this a homework con? #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

BOOM! So true of many aspects of education. #BSD7chat https://t.co/82cw0KKGlT

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2 Con of HW is that it is often given just because "It's the way we've always done it" #BSD7chat https://t.co/RJdId5hC9F

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @SEANJFAHEY Imagine the ? when I did this at the HS level. Some Ps don't think you are doing your job it no HW #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jun 1 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2.1 5 yrs ago I'd have listed good habits, communication as pros. After giving up JW, I find there are better ways for both.#BSD7chat

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

This is a great podcast by @markbarnes19 from #HackLearning about what needs to change about HW https://t.co/V7lo8D7nZD #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @SEANJFAHEY Thx for reminding us you're at HS level. Do you find no HW a hard sell among colleagues? #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2.2 Learning should be a journey which is ongoing, not something that is completed nightly. #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Hello #BSD7chat Sorry to show up late, we had a spring concert tonight! Nikki, k-1, LaMotte School East of Bozeman

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @SEANJFAHEY Yes but I'm winning them over little by little. My Ss are taking ownership of what they need & it shows. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2 I found that HW w parents often "undid" the teaching I was doing at school. Strategies undone. Algorithms instead. Nooooo! #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Sorry for coming in late everybody - Adrian from Irving wanting to discuss HW! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@watsonmontana I would say this is a *big* HW con. Some Ss are immediately at a disadvantage. #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jun 1 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2.2 Cons to HW: strained relationships, misunderstandings, paper waste, time waste, allows for families to prioritize family! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Question 3: Do you have parents who expect homework? #BSD7chat @mtkristigaines @AdrianAdvinMT https://t.co/i76T3F07UM

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@rachelmarker They want their children to "learn" like they did. Memorize isn't learn but it's hard to break the tradition. #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@watsonmontana Allowing Ss time to engage with their ts about hw during the day is the best way to support. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@mtkristigaines Look how much we can change in just a few years! #growthmindset #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2 Pros:Ps see what Ss are doing in school Cons: Ss are tired and not at their best after all day at school, may not do well on HW #BSD7chat

MrsPug1 Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1 Changed to giving S responsibility of reading nightly and practicing vocab/math facts as needed. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2 b) Adding: HW as part of a student's grade makes no sense. Means some Ss will lose points automatically bc home life is tough. #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@NVradenburg and as @alicekeeler says ALL THE TIME kids need time away from school to be kids and have family time. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Thanks for sharing this, Sean! Always looking for new podcasts... #BSD7chat https://t.co/iovZm0ym3N

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:15 PM EDT

This is a great podcast by @markbarnes19 from #HackLearning about what needs to change about HW https://t.co/V7lo8D7nZD #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A3 Some Ps want it for the little ones b/c their older siblings have it. Most are glad not have to deal w/it. #BSD7chat

KarlyMoura Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A3 Yes but I would have a class website with links to educational sites and activities they could use to challenge their child. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@NVradenburg Wahoo! Nikki's here! #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@AdrianAdvinMT Awww yeah! Glad you're here! #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: At the el level I see much more cons than pros. There is a neg effect w/learning, this deepens and widens the opportunity gap, #BSD7chat

watsonmontana Jun 1 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A3: Helping Ss, Ts, parents , & community understand the purpose of homework is critical. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@MrHagemeister @watsonmontana Engage w their Ts in general--not just abt homework. #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2.2 Kids don't have time to be kids, some parents don't have the time (work) or tools to help, this can cause conflict... #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 Curious to know what vocab words were the focus? #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

Question #3 is a good one (well all of them are!) #BSD7chat https://t.co/hLwMHuYmfR

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Question 3: Do you have parents who expect homework? #BSD7chat @mtkristigaines @AdrianAdvinMT https://t.co/i76T3F07UM

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@AdrianAdvinMT So true! HW can be more stressful for Ps. Not everyone is a T! #BSD7chat

MrHagemeister Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3 Explain the purpose of homework and how education has moved from knowing things to thinking about, doing, and creating things. #BSD7chat

MrsPug1 Jun 1 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2 Pros -encourage love of reading and learning by choice not by force Con- Ss will be responsible for HW in upper grades/college #BSD7chat

mtkristigaines Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A3: Seversl parents want it. For a few years, I gave to Ps who were really insistent. They all gave it up after a few months. #BSD7chat

SEANJFAHEY Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A3 do they expect it? Sure! Do majority want Ss to have it? NO! Problem is Ps see HW as a chore they have to fight w/ Ss about #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @NVradenburg @alicekeeler Who are WE 2 dictate how family time = spent? I want to play + *be* w my kids. No worksheets. #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura I also posted videos of lessons so if Ss wanted to practice at home they had support. Ps said they liked it. #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2.3 The list goes on and on, and there is quite a bit of research out there that defends this #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Having a clear purpose for the task is very important! #BSD7chat https://t.co/uVSbS8F3eX

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @NVradenburg @alicekeeler I've spend 2-3 hours some nights with my MS son. He's already worked at school all day :-( #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Jun 1 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@AdrianAdvinMT Puts a strain on the parent-child relationship. Life is too stressful. Why add more? #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Jun 1 @ 10:24 PM EDT

No more worksheets! No more busy work! Worth repeating! #BSD7chat https://t.co/YbAGrXH8bT

A3 I found it works great w Ps to be proactive and address my no HW policy (and research behind). #BSD7chat

TTmomTT Jun 1 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A4: With the videos I posted my Ss also kept a standards log and reflection & goals so Ss & Ps could see what pract was needed. #BSD7chat
