Homework is an important and required component for student achievement. A teacher's evaluation of and feedback regarding homework shall be reflected in the grade or the code given.
All homework assignments shall be designed to meet one or more of the following outcomes:
(1) To promote the attainment of positive work habits and study skills;
(2) To practice material and skills already taught;
(3) To prepare for upcoming lessons;
(4) To study for upcoming assessments; and/or
(5) To extend student understanding of concepts.
Students are expected to dedicate focused time outside of school hours toward the completion of homework. The following provides general guidelines on time allotments students in various grades and programs should devote to homework.
(1) Prekindergarten and kindergarten - approximately 20 minutes per night on homework, two to three times per week.
(2) Grades 1 and 2 - approximately 30 minutes per night on homework, three to four times per week.
(3) Grades 3, 4 and 5 - approximately 45 minutes per night on homework, three to four times per week.
Parents shall not be expected to play a "formal teaching role" in homework. Parents can, however, support this aspect of their children's education by establishing regular times for homework completion and identifying specific places in the home where students can work with minimum distractions.
Teachers shall provide feedback for the homework assigned. Some homework assignments may be evaluated for completeness, while others may be evaluated for accuracy. Teachers shall maintain precise records to document the grades earned for homework assignments.
