  1. 13. REVIEW DATE: 18 May 2024

 

 

HOMEWORK POLICY

 

1.What is homework?

 

It is definitely work that should be done at home. It should be encouraged to be done at home – then it becomes more meaningful. At home learners have time to reflect on the day’s work, they have time to test their recollection of what.

Was done in the class- they have time to consolidate.

 

  1. The Salient points about homework
  • It should be relevant and meaningful.
  • It should test the learner’s understanding of the work done in school.
  • It should not involve too much research – but it should be thought provoking.
  • It must be application work -typical test and exam type questions.
  • It should be Consistent and continuous -try to avoid long lapses of not giving homework.
  • Homework should be done entirely by the learner- it must include their thoughts and thinking processes-not their father’s, brother’s or sister’s and friend’s.

 

 

  1. Checking of Homework

 

  • Teacher should spend about ±5 minutes – to check if every learner has ATTEMPTED homework – there should be WRITTEN PROOF that homework was attempted.
  • Reprimand or punish learners that have made no attempt at doing the homework.
  • Reward- praise those who that have done the homework.
  • Encourage learners to make an attempt (written) even if homework is difficult.
  • EMPHASIZE it’s not important to get every question correct but it’s important to attempt every question- their minds are working, thinking as they make the attempt and that’s the idea behind giving homework.

 

4.Why homework is necessary?

 

  • Encourages, motivate learners to do homework-emphasize that when they do homework, they’re studying the relevant work-they must not do I for the sake of showing the teacher they have made an attempt.
  • When they do begin studying for a test- all the homework they have done will make their studying easier.

 

 

  1. The Homework timetable
  • Encourages learners to draw up a homework timetable. The teacher should also have a homework timetable for the different grades he/she is teaching.

 

GRADE

DURATION OF HOMEWORK

4+5

45 minutes per week per subject.

15 minutes per day per subject

6

1 hour per week per subject.

15 minutes per day per subjects

7

1⅓hours per week per subject

15 minutes per day per subject

 

 

ALLOCATE TWENTY (20) MINUTES EVERY DAY FOR READING …. Reading storybooks, magazines(educational), newspaper, textbooks, notes, etc.

NB: Homework should include all STUDYING time for tests, exams, etc. It should include reading time, doing assignments, etc.

Subject teachers should decide days to choose for their subjects so that there is no clash and learners are not overburdened.

 

  1. The Parents Role

 

                Every parent must have:

  1. A copy of their learner’s class timetable
  2. A copy of the term programme pasted on the fridge at home so that it is easily visible for the parent to remind their learner of their daily responsibilities. This must also serve as reminder for the parent’s role in monitoring their learner.

 

 

The parent must also physically check every day that the relevant schoolwork for the day is done before the learner goes to bed.

The parent must also SIGN the learner’s diary acknowledging that the relevant schoolwork for that day’s homework has been done.

By checking the assessment programme, the parent must also remind the learner to study well in advance for an exam or test, not just speak to them about this, but must sit down with them and see that they are studying schoolwork and not some kind of magazine, etc.

 

Educators will be checking homework on a regular basis by putting a stamp in the learner’s book. Parent will also have space to sign. It is expected of parents to check the homework at regular intervals.

 

 

7.The Learners Role

 

The learner MUST have a homework diary that has enough space to write in relevant information about daily school activities that overlap with homework.

The diary must be in the learner’s bag every day …… PARENT to check this.

The diary must be DATED…. Learner and parent have to check the diary every day before the learner goes to bed to be certain that all schoolwork for that day has been done /attempted and also to pack the relevant books for the following school day.
