The intent of homework is to ensure student learning of certain concepts and/or skills found in the written and taught curriculum. Homework is beneficial as long as teachers exercise their professional judgment and use their knowledge of developmental levels to guide their practices and expectations. Homework should be aligned with district-approved standards and indicators and course outcomes.
