YOUR AD HERE You are HERE >> Learning Disabilities : ADD/ADHD : Target Audience : Parents and Educators with ADD/ADHD children Homework Help: The Dog Ate My Homework! by Katherine West October 15, 2000 Does your son or daughter have problems turning in homework on time? Is every night a chore? Do you pull your hair out when trying to help your child do school assignments? Do you get notes from little Johnny or Sally's teacher complaining about sloppy handwriting, daydreaming, or fidgeting in his or her seat? Here are some creative tips, innovative strategies, and commons sense approaches to one of today's biggest problems- homework. With teachers giving more homework than ever, we really must be armed for the task! Homework Help: How can I teach my student good study skills? 1. As young as nine or ten, your child should begin keeping an assignment book. In this book, the child needs to write each and every assignment given by his or her teachers. By instilling this habit into your child's daily routine, he or she will learn to be much more responsible. Less homework assignments will be lost or forgotten, and a good habit has been formed when you employ this technique. Be sure to make very specific rules about missing assignments. Also be firm and clear on the punishment that a child will face as a consequence of his or her missing an assignment. 2. Your child and you need to decide on a place that is conducive to study. This should be a quiet place that is well-lit and free from distractions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place that your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, as soon as the child gets home from school is the time for the homework to be done. This also goes for the kids who are involved in after school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow your child the opportunity to have a healthy snack before the work begins.

3. Learning Disabilities OnLine: LD In-Depth: Teaching Parents To Teach Children Ho Strategies teachers can use to teach parents to teach their children to be prosocial are autopsies, coaching emotions, and assigning homework. issues to be considered when working http://www.ldonline.org/ld_indepth/behavior/prosocial.html

Teaching Parents to Teach Their Children to Be Prosocial Strategies teachers can use to teach parents to teach their children to be prosocial are described. These strategies include teaching incidentally, performing social skills autopsies, coaching emotions, and assigning homework. Issues to be considered when working with parents and children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds are addressed. We propose that by having parents as partners in the instructional process, students will better generalize prosocial skills across situations, settings, and individuals. In their now classic article, Stokes and Baer (1977) described strategies proven to promote generalization of skills across settings, situations, and individuals: Teach students social skills in settings where the skills will be used. If teaching social skills in the natural setting is not possible, we can use role playing to reflect a variety of settings or teach children to self-monitor their use of skills across settings. We can also recruit teachers and parents to prompt, teach, and reinforce use of appropriate social skills. Teach social skills that are valued in the natural setting.

Learning at Home Through Homework An Opportunity for Partnership Between Home and School In the Interests of Student Learning A Background Document to Stimulate Discussion and the Development of an Updated Approach to Homework for Individual Elementary Schools October 1999 Updated: November 2000 Solving Homework Problems Homework is a source of frustration in many schools, and in many households. Yet research suggests that ‘learning at home’ is one of the most effective methods for parents to assist their children in doing better at school. (Dr. Joyce Epstein, 1995) If the subject of homework has not been reviewed within a particular school for some time, perhaps opportunity exists for a joint committee of teachers and parents to review the current situation within a school and provide recommendations to the administration, staff, parents and school community. A review of the current situation involves honestly asking and answering several key questions as follows: 1. What are the current perceptions of teachers, parents and students regarding homework? 2. Is the school’s homework policy clear, and is it being followed by all teachers, students and parents?

"Why cut forever, when you can just post the background" Harry Cantor, Retired Teacher : Dayton, OH "I made bulletin boards for years. By my 11th year, I figured out that I would need exactly 15 sheets of construction paper for my bulletin board and that it would take me close to an hour to place all the pieces. Then I figured out you can just go to one of those "Just A Dollar Store" and buy a paper, or non-shiny table cloth and pop it up. You can even get seasonal backgrounds. It is so much easier, I think I updated the boards more often because it wasn't as big of a pain to change the backgrounds." Vital Issues of the Day Pat, High School Teacher

Kindergarten and first grade will assign homework as appropriate. Second through fifth grade students should average homework four days per week. It is acceptable that assignments be given or some weekends or holidays. The amount of time per night for homework should, in general, use the following formula: student’s grade X’s 10 minutes plus 10 minutes (a third grade student would have an average of 30 to 40 minutes of homework, four nights a week). Nightly independent reading is not included in this average. Consideration must be given individual students’ differing learning and ability levels in assigning homework.

12. How To Say It: Homework Hassles The most important thing to teach (repeatedly) is that you value education and you value homework as an Show by your actions that homework issues are very important to you http://familyeducation.com/article/0,1120,66-27686,00.html

How to Say It: Homework Hassles Paul Coleman, Psy.D. Help Your Child Develop Good Study Skills (The following is a chapter from How to Say It to Your Kids , by Dr. Paul Coleman.) Joshua hovered over his math homework, writing furiously. He had five minutes to finish before his bus arrived. "Mom!" he called. "Will you help me? I can't do this problem!" "You told me you finished your math last night," Mom said. "It was mostly finished. Will you do this problem for me? I'm going to miss my bus." "No. You know how to do that-" "Please!" Josh said. "I don't have the time!" "You should have thought of that last night when-" "Mom, you're not helping me!" Helping your child to develop proper study skills will save you and him lots of needless aggravation. Things to consider There is no accepted standard for the amount of homework a child can reasonably expect to do on a daily basis. However, a common formula is to allow ten minutes a night for a first-grader, and ten minutes per night added for each grade level. Thus, a fifth-grader might average nearly an hour a day of homework while an eighth-grader may average ninety minutes or more. (Note: Children watch between three and four hours of TV per day. Something is wrong.) Children often try to do other things while studying, such as watch television or talk on the phone. If so, they may spend double or triple the time it would take them if they simply sat at a desk and quietly did their homework.

Homework This policy requires each school in the district to develop a policy on homework. Each policy shall be consistent with: (a) the guidelines for quality homework; (b) the role of homework in the learning process; and (c) the grading and accountability of homework as set forth herein, while considering the unique developmental needs of children in each school. The district policy shall be widely disseminated throughout the community. The more widely known, the more likely the policy will be effectively implemented. Effective implementation is expected to result in more successful homework and better performing students. The homework policy developed by each school shall be disseminated throughout that school community, minimally through inclusion in the school handbook. Again, the more well-known and understood school policy is, the more effective its implementation will be. Quality Homework Students need to receive feedback on their homework in order for it to be effective in improving learning. Homework must be meaningful.

June 09, 2004 SEARCH drSpock my account sign in HOT TOPICS Pregnancy Symptoms Read with Your Kids It's Fun! Take Our Quizzes Play with Your Baby TOPICS Parents are talking about their children. Join the discussion. Homework: The Rules of the Game by Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P. reviewed by Laura Jana, M.D., F.A.A.P. Homework does not have to be war. If you can see your role as a coach rather than a taskmaster, homework can teach your child the value of hard work, as well as teaching you a lot about your child. In order to be an effective coach, though, you have to know the rules of the game. And that means understanding homework from the teacher's point of view. Why homework? Teachers assign homework for three basic reasons: to get children to practice skills or concepts they have learned in class (for example, practicing certain math fundamentals) to prepare children for the next class (perhaps by reading a chapter in a book that the class will later discuss) to give children the chance to work on a project that is time-consuming or requires outside resources (such as the library, the Internet, or you, the parents). Early on, the main point of homework is to get children used to the idea of working outside the classroom, as well as helping them develop time-management and organization skills. Later in elementary school and particularly in high school, children who do more homework score better on standardized tests. It stands to reason that when teachers set high expectations for learning, including relatively high homework demands, children learn more.
