Homework Policy

EXPECTATIONS - Students are expected to complete assigned homework and practice, in order to • Strengthen learning outcomes • Develop responsibility

GUIDELINES – Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: • Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote • Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving • Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding • Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information

CONSEQUENCES

Homework Lunch Room - Students will be required to finish their homework in the HOMEWORK ROOM during Lunch, under supervision.

HELPFUL TIPS

• If homework is not handed in 1st thing in the morning, students run the risk of it not being corrected until the next day. • Students are urged not to accumulate their homework. It makes learning more difficult. • Learning Strategies and Time Management are keys to learning.
