Homework+and+Practice

=Homework and Practice= ===**Research on homework indicates that it should be approached not as an afterthought to the school day, but as a focused strategy for increasing understanding. Knowing which of the type of homework is needed helps teachers design appropriate homework assignments. Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly. The goal of practice is for stu****dents to get as close to mastery as possible.**===

**__Definitions of Homework and Practice__**
 * Homework - expand the learning opportunities for students to practice, review and apply knowledge.
 * ==== Practice - enhances students ability to reach the expected level of proficiency for a skill or process. ====

**Four different questions teachers should take into consideration when assigning Homework.**

Example: Ten minutes, multiply to the grade level is given for the appriate time each student needs in order to complete their daily homework assignments. Min. * Grade level= time needed to complete assignment.
 * ====**Well the students be able to complete their homework in the time setup for each grade level.**====
 * = Minutes X ||= Grade Level = ||= Time to complete assignment ||
 * = 10 ||= K ||= No Homework ||
 * = 10 ||= 1 ||= 10 minutes ||
 * = 10 ||= 2 ||= 20 minutes ||
 * = 10 ||= 3 ||= 30 minutes ||
 * = 10 ||= 4 ||= 40 minutes ||
 * = 10 ||= 5 ||= 50 minutes ||
 * = 10 ||= 6 ||= 60 minutes (1 hour) ||
 * = 10 ||= 7 ||= 70 minutes (1hr. 10min.) ||
 * = 10 ||= 8 ||= 80 minutes (1hr. 20min.) ||
 * = 10 ||= 9 ||= 90 minutes (1hr. 30min.) ||
 * = 10 ||= 10 ||= 100 minutes (1hr. 40min.) ||
 * = 10 ||= 11 ||= 110 minutes (1hr. 50min. ||
 * = 10 ||= 12 ||= 120 minutes (2 hours) ||


 * ====**Will this assignment allow students the ability to complete the assignment on their own ( minimal or no parental help ) ?**====
 * ====**Will each student be able to identify and understand what is required to complete this assignment? (Rubric and or Webquest)**====
 * **As a teacher will I have the time to comment on each students assignment and respond in a timely manner and provide constructive feedback?**

====I think a teacher should encourage their students to do their best on their homework. The teacher can give each student an incentive to do thier homeworkby giving them an opportunity to received a prize if they reach the Homework goal. That is why I like the Homeworkpoloy game, it will help the student stay====

====The more a student enjoys learning, the more they will learn. It may take more time for a teacher to create a fun interactive homework assignment but it will be worth it. The teacher will see that each and every student can really learn and comprehend what they have taught them.==== = = = No more busy homework!! bring on More learning Homework!! =
