Synopsis

This book reveals the types of homework activity that are most beneficial to pupils’ attainment and makes practical sense of the research on homework and how it can be used most effectively. Suggesting ways in which the impact of homework can be improved, this book offers practical ideas, strategies and activities that teachers can implement, trial and adopt in their own classrooms.

Linking current evidence from cognitive psychology on retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving to the setting of homework, the book includes the following:



suggestions for effective preparation tasks


a discussion on metacognition and how this can help pupils revise and complete schoolwork independently


an overview of how we can effectively check homework


the importance of feedback


how schools can support pupils and parents with homework as well as the importance of having a crystal-clear homework policy.


This is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders wanting to ensure that their homework activities have a real impact on pupil’s learning.
