2330 - HOMEWORK
The Board of Education acknowledges the educational validity of out-of-school assignments as adjuncts to and extensions of the instructional program of the schools.
"Homework" shall refer to those assignments to be prepared outside of the school by the student or independently while in attendance at school.
The Superintendent shall develop rules for the assignment of homework according to these guidelines:
| A. | Homework should be a properly planned part of the curriculum to extend and reinforce the learning experience of the school. | |
| B. | Homework should help students learn by providing practice in the mastery of skills, experience in data gathering, and integration of knowledge, and an opportunity to remediate learning problems. | |
| C. | Homework should help develop the student's sense of responsibility by providing an opportunity for the exercise of independent work and judgment. | |
| D. | Homework should always serve a valid learning purpose; use as a punitive measure is discouraged. |
