I borrowed this video from Dean at SMS.  It gave me something to think about, especially after seeing my 10 yr old almost in tears last Thursday  at 9pm because of the amount of homework he had yet to complete (which I know has nothing to do with Sisk but made me think).  I know we have had this conversation and wanted to share the video below.

Marzano

Marzano mentions this about homework, 1. Ask parents to facilitate homework completion, not teach content. 2. Homework should serve a clear purpose. Make the goal of a homework assignment explicit and clear to everyone, including students. 3. Provide appropriate feedback. Effective feedback corrects misunderstanding, validates process, and highlights errors in thinking. 4.Provide timely feedback. Student learning improves with timely feedback. It's best to provide constructive feedback within hours or a day after students complete an assignment.
