The leading educational research and literature has determined that homework has either no impact or negative impact on student learning until around middle school. Our job as teachers is to inspire students to LOVE learning and be motivated to take charge of their learning. Sometimes, the quickest way to extinguish that fire is through monotonous homework after working hard all day.
I designed my new homework system based around the teachings of prominent figures in the educational community. My new system is called SWAG homework (Scholars With A Growth Mindset) and is driven by a growth mindset which will be fostered in class. Growth mindset is the belief that one can achieve any level of success through perseverance and grit. The fixed mindset of "you're born with it or you're not" has been proven to be incorrect by science and therefore we must work to retrain our brains to focus on grit rather than current levels of achievement.
SWAG homework allows students to choose how much homework they do each night. The best part is that the more they choose to do, the more their brain will grow! Please let me emphasize the importance of daily reading and math fact practice.
