What contributes to homework resistance? How can we better support students in not only completing, but learning from assigned homework?
Imagine observing a lesson in which you see a teacher give the students 2 or 3 or 4 times more work than they can handle.You’d be scratching your head.
In a culture so heavily invested in progress, the anomaly of unattended and unmoderated homework assignment seems scandalously peculiar.
Ideally, assigned homework should be less frequent and hopefully more personalized to the needs of the student and their ongoing work and growth.
I used to think that I had to give students homework every day and that homework had to be the same for each student and each class.
Homework is only formative if it recurs as a task in which I can learn from feedback to improve at the ‘same’ task. This is easily accessible.
