Ditch That Homework Peeps

Posted on July 30, 2017July 31, 2017 by Alice Keeler

Join Us In Saying Ditch That Homework Homework has a low effectiveness rating for learning. It does cause a lot of stress and family fighting. Beyond the walls of our classroom, the environments are unequal. No research supports the myth that homework teaches responsibility. Homework is not preparing our kids for college; the drop out…

Posted on July 27, 2017July 30, 2017 by jmattmiller

Ditch That Homework is OUT! Make homework obsolete Guest Blog Post by Matt Miller Research can’t prove it’s a best practice. It causes family conflict and stress. Plus, it widens the gap between the haves and the have nots. Homework is a habit we’ve kept in education for far too long, and it’s time for…

“I Assign Stupid Homework”

Posted on December 16, 2016December 15, 2016 by Alice Keeler

“I Assign Stupid Homework” One argument I frequently hear in response to the argument that homework is oftentimes of marginal academic benefit, busy work or stupid is “We should assign better homework.” Exactly which teacher thinks they are assigning stupid homework or busy work? I teach pre-service teachers and I will sometimes ask them “What percent…

Transitioning to Digital When you’re moving to digital platforms and students having devices, what do you do first? Not Materials Online Your first move is NOT to just post all your documents online.

Stop Giving Homework

Posted on July 13, 2015June 9, 2021 by Alice Keeler

One of my favorite lines is “technology allows us to do things differently, so we do things differently.” Now that we have technology, how do our classrooms look different from when we were students?
