2330 - HOMEWORK
The School Board 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 may develop administrative guidelines 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 or to complete work not completed in class. |
|
|
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. |
The number, frequency, and degree of difficulty of homework assignments should be based on the ability and needs of the student and take into account other activities which make a legitimate claim on the student's time. |
|
|
D. |
Homework should always serve a valid learning purpose; it should never be used as a punitive measure. |
