UNHOMEWORK: HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF HOMEWORK WITHOUT REALLY SETTING IT

In a dynamic and ever-changing education climate, it is important to re-evaluate practice in schools regularly to ensure that we are doing the right thing for our children. With questions being raised over the value of homework, Mark Creasy advises teachers and parents on how to get the most out of homework without letting it get in the way of their lives. This book questions the necessity of homework while recognizing that most teachers have a statutory duty to provide it. The author provides suggestions for how teachers can make homework more effective, applicable, and less pointless; organizing classroom learning to allow children to set their homework and creating opportunities for learning out of everyday situations.
