Spotlight On Curriculum: Homework me for suggestions about how to manage homework issues with their notebook so he knows what homework is required 5. teach her to review her work frequently. http://www.whps.org/school/smith/Curriculum/Spotlight/homework.htm
Extractions: Spotlight on Curriculum: Homework When I was a fourth grade teacher, parents often asked me for suggestions about how to manage homework issues with their children. I gave a lot of advice over the years but I recently came upon a website that synthesized several of my suggestions into a simple list. I offer the following ten tips from Peggy Gisler Ed.S and Marge Eberts Ed.S to help you tackle homework problems with your child. Establish a regular time and place for doing homework. Have him use an assignment notebook so he knows what homework is required each day ( Smith School provides these to students in grades 3 through 5). Introduce a planning calendar and show her how to use it when she begins to have long-term assignments. Each day he should preview the assignments that he has to do and get the tough tasks out of the way first. He should write down the order in which he will do assignments. Teach her to review her work frequently. Get him an organizer, and show him how to use it so that he has a system for organizing all his school papers. Have her use a book bag to transport books and papers.

Extractions: Issues for Teacher Education Jon Mason, Computer Manager, Faculty of Education, The University of Melbourne Email: Jon_Mason@mac.unimelb.edu.au Keywords: Secondary Education Primary Education This paper is a contribution toward promoting active discussion within the Faculty of Education on the impact that the World Wide Web, and AARNet connectivity in general, is having and will most likely have on school education. The issues raised are just a starting point and while I am attending AUSWEB 95 as a representative of the Faculty the views in this paper are my own and should be seen as just that. As the number of schools on-line increases it is likely that for most the introduction to Internet will be via the World Wide Web especially since it provides the most user-friendly access to the Internet. Thus, while this paper may have a broader context, the issues raised are critical ones facing school administrators and teachers. These can be summarised under the headings of changing roles in the classroom, equity, censorship, training and support, and curriculum integration. While the various ways in which the WWW can be used for education is important to this paper it is not the primary focus. It is assumed that for many of the attendees of this conference that this angle would be just beating a drum they've already heard numerous times. For a lucid account of both its history and potential please see Andy Carvin
ACLU Issues Church And State On some of the issues discussed in this summary, some Public schools must not teach as scientific fact or beliefs in the form of reports, homework and artwork http://archive.aclu.org/issues/religion/relig7.html
Extractions: A Joint Statement Of Current Law The Constitution permits much private religious activity in and about the public schools. Unfortunately, this aspect of constitutional law is not as well known as it should be. Some say that the Supreme Court has declared the public schools "religion-free zones" or that the law is so murky that school officials cannot know what is legally permissible. The former claim is simply wrong. And as to the latter, while there are some difficult issues, much has been settled. It is also unfortunately true that public school officials, due to their busy schedules, may not be as fully aware of this body of law as they could be. As a result, in some school districts some of these rights are not being observed. The organizations whose names appear below span the ideological, religious and political spectrum. They nevertheless share a commitment both to the freedom of religious practice and to the separation of church and state such freedom requires. In that spirit, we offer this statement of consensus on current law as an aid to parents, educators and students. Many of the organizations listed below are actively involved in litigation about religion in the schools. On some of the issues discussed in this summary, some of the organizations have urged the courts to reach positions different than they did. Though there are signatories on both sides which have and will press for different constitutional treatments of some of the topics discussed below, they all agree that the following is an accurate statement of what the law currently is.

How To Teach ADHD/ADD Children: FAQs You just call it helping with homework. ve heard it said that a teacher trying to teach this child systems will really work with you on these issues and others http://www.westfieldacademy.org/adhd/faqs.htm
Extractions: Carol's Web Corner Frequently Asked Questions We don't homeschool. What can we do? How do I get started in homeschooling? What if I don't have the patience to homeschool? What about treating ADHD kids with medications? ... or tapes. I can't find it on your web page. Where do I get it? 1. We don't homeschool. What can we do? Of course you homeschool. You just call it helping with homework. All of the tactics and strategies that work for me when I teach my ADHD son at home can be applied in your home as well. The ways I suggest on the teaching tips page and in my book of incorporating motion and games into learning can be used with any subject you're attempting to teach the ADHD child. I know that you are trying to teach this child at the end of what is usually a VERY taxing day, when he or she is tired and less likely to be cooperative. But that makes teaching with motion all the more important. Do your best to find your child's predominant learning mode and incorporate it in every learning moment. For the child in the traditional classroom, you must appreciate how VERY difficult it is for our ADHD kids to keep control of their impulses in a room with many children. The noise level and the panorama of things in motion will elevate their level of excitability. The distractions are almost dizzying for them. They are almost destined for trouble. I've heard it said that a teacher trying to teach this child in such an environment is like trying to thread a sewing machine while it's running. Some school systems will really work with you on these issues and others will simply claim you're not disciplining enough.

Extractions: Here's the riddle: if a student doesn't understand how to do his work, why send it home? If he knows how to do it and understands it, why send it home? As with most riddles, the answer is not always obvious. The real riddle is how much and what kind of homework should teachers assign? Wait until the student understands. It's best to send work home when the students are nearing mastery of a concept. But if work is assigned at the practice stage, the parents need to know how much to expect from their children. Limit the amount of homework. Homework in the lower elementary grades should review only a few skills on a regular basis. In grades 4-6 homework can expand to preparing for tests. High school is a different consideration. Most people would agree that a couple of hours per evening during the week is not too much to expect at that level. Another possibility is to allow some in-school time for assignments to be completed. Make it feel like home.

Tips For Parents Department of Education brochures addressing parenting/ educational issues. homework is an opportunity for students to learn in a child and help teach the most http://k12s.phast.umass.edu/~hharg/homeworkhelp.htm
Extractions: A US Department of Education Article Foreword Homework: A Concern for the Whole Family The Basics How To Help: Show You Think Education and Homework Are Important ... The National Education Goals Families play a vital role in educating America's children. What families do is more important to student success than whether they are rich or poor, whether parents have finished high school or not, or whether children are in elementary, junior high, or high school. Yet, for all that common sense and research tell us, family involvement often remains neglected in the debate about American school reform. To focus more attention on this important subject, the U.S. Congress recently added to an initial list of six National Education Goals another that states: Every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children. The Office of Educational Research and Improvement has produced Helping Your Child With Homework to contribute to the drive to increase family involvement in children's learning. As the handbook points out, we know that children who spend more time on homework, on average, do better in school, and that the academic benefits increase as children move into the upper grades.

The results are based on a randomized, controlled study of the effectiveness of Project ALERT in 55 middle schools in South Dakota from 1997 to 1999. Nationwide, the program reaches more than 1 million adolescents in all 50 states. Compared with control students, Project ALERT students reduced their use of cigarettes, marijuana, and alcohol. The program was especially successful with the highest-risk early drinkers, substantially reducing their likelihood of engaging in risky forms of alcohol use (such as binge drinking) or of experiencing other problems from drinking. The program also helped keep those who had experimented with cigarettes from making the transition to regular smoking. "These early smokers and drinkers have substantially elevated risks for increased drug use and a variety of other high-risk behaviors such as violence, unsafe sex, and dropping out of school," said lead author Phyllis Ellickson.

Extractions: A program of the National Institute for Literacy From the Director . . . Adults with learning disabilities may not only have had problems learning in a classroom, but may also have found it difficult to learn and acquire appropriate social skills. Current research suggests that there is a high prevalence of social skill deficits among individuals with learning disabilities. Because adults with learning disabilities may perceive and respond to social situations differently than the rest of the population, social skill deficits can have a devastating impact on family, school, work, community, and personal relationships. In addition, adults with persisting social skill difficulties may experience difficulty finding and/or keeping a job or developing intimate relationships. Therefore, it is critical to include social skills training in programs for adults with learning disabilities. This issue of LINKAGES focuses on the impact of learning disabilities on an adult's social skills. It explores various social, emotional, and daily living concerns adults with learning disabilities may face. Individuals with learning disabilities who have social skills problems often face rejection and loneliness. By improving our understanding of social skills issues and instruction in social skill areas, it is our hope that adult educators and literacy providers can better meet the needs of adult learners who may have learning disabilities.

Providing Effective Schooling For Students At Risk can help the schools teach and nurture television viewing, helping with homework, monitoring leisure involvement, see the Critical issues Supporting Ways http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/students/atrisk/at600.htm
Extractions: ISSUE: Students who are placed at risk due to poverty, race, ethnicity, language, or other factors are rarely well served by their schools (Hilliard, 1989; Letgers, McDill, & McPartland, 1993). They often attend schools where they are tracked into substandard courses and programs holding low expectations for learning (Oakes, 1985; Wheelock, 1992). If schools are to achieve the desired goal of success for all students, they must hold high expectations for all, especially this growing segment of learners. They must view these students as having strengths, not "deficits," and adopt programs and practices that help all students to achieve their true potential. OVERVIEW: The question of what it means to be "at risk" is controversial. When children do not succeed in school, educators and others disagree about who or what is to blame. Because learning is a process that takes place both inside and outside school, an ecological approach offers a working description of the term at risk . In this view, inadequacies in any arena of lifethe school, the home, or the communitycan contribute to academic failure when not compensated for in another arena.
