Students know when their projects are due
They learn to plan accordingly
Research-based assignments require that students search for and learn about relevant information
This promotes self-learning
Completed homework indicates what students have learned, and what may need further reinforcement and practice
Teachers can reflect on their teaching methods and adjust accordingly
Students learn how to use reference materials, websites on the internet, and libraries to gather information
Classes are often structured
Homework is much less structure and requires students work independently, figuring things out for themselves
Through reviewing homework, parents gain insight into their child’s academic performance
Homework often requires students to both recall what was learned earlier in the day/week, and work with that information
This builds memory and cognitive skills
Well-designed homework often allows students to work at their own pace and modify instructions/assignment as needed to be successful
This encourages students to take charge of their own learning
Practice, practice, practice may not make you perfect, but it will make you better!
Review and reinforcement are key to learning any discipline, be it a foreign language or a martial art
Well-designed homework builds competence, and competence both reduces anxiety and brings joy
Less anxiety + more joy = a positive attitude towards
The student who regularly completes her/his homework is prepared the next day’s classroom challenges
“Be prepared!” — the motto of Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts everywhere!
Homework not only requires students to be responsible about completing tasks, but also to be responsible about their own learning
Homework can help parents help their children avoid excessive usage of screens
Homework helps students develop new academic and socio-emotional skills
Good study habits will benefit students through high school, university and beyond
A good time to build a life-enhancing, life-enriching habit is now.
