Homework Perspectives: A Toolkit for Reflection

Link: http://www.enc.org/focus/homework/

There are several components to this website: Facilitator Instructions This handout outlines the objective, supplies needed, timeframe, and directions for leading the workshop. Personal Assessment Tool: Homework Philosophy This assessment invites you to reflect on your current homework-giving practice and how you view the role of homework in teaching and learning. For Consideration: Three Articles Here you will find summaries of and links to three pieces about homework that tackle the issues from different angles. Student Profiles We present vignettes describing three different students and their stance toward homework. These profiles are intended to be representative of students you are likely to or have already encountered in your teaching. Refining Tool: Homework Philosophy Designed to be completed after the articles and vignettes have been read and discussed, this tool encourages reflection on what you have learned or considered during the workshop and stimulates critical thinking about future strategies for addressing homework. Additional Resources We have highlighted additional online resources that talk about homework, as well as materials from the ENC Collection that can guide you in further explorations of these complex issues.
