Crafting Meaningful Homeworks

Exploring the purpose and core components of high-quality homework.

They say there are only two things certain in this life: death and taxes. Well, for many students we could add a third – homework! Its critics believe it sabotages family life, creating a student/parent ‘ball and chain’ that can lead to meltdowns and sometimes tears, and it limits learning by reinforcing bad practice. However, others highlight its positive aspects such as: when applied correctly, good homework can support learning, practice and rehearsal of learned information; it also supports personal development as it strengthens organisation and independent learning skills.

This course explores and develops our understanding of:

  • The purpose and rationale for giving out homework.
  • The core components of ‘good homework’.
  • How to get students motivated to engage in and complete homework.

Teachers should leave the course energised about homework, having reconnected with its purpose and aim. They will see it not as a burdensome part of their teaching but an integrated part of the learning, teaching and assessment cycle.

We have used Learnspark for a number of years now to deliver support and training for parents and students to get them revision ready. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and are so entertaining! Parents in particular have found the support invaluable and we have found the sessions an excellent starting point to develop our partnership with parents in their child's learning.

Working with Learn Spark is an absolute pleasure, both in terms of their planning and execution of professional development sessions. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to ensure the training is interactive, informed by research, and bespoke to our school’s specific requirements and ethos is exemplary. They always exude a positive outlook and demeanour; the energy and enthusiasm they bring to TPL sessions are key to staff enjoyment and engagement.

We have enjoyed the high energy, interactive, engaging and progressive content and delivery.

We have worked with Learn Spark in several areas across our school.  The workshops and support provided, whether to further enhance our professional capacity or to build the wider skill set of our students or engage positively with parents, have all been interesting, engaging, energetic and beneficial to all involved.   Paul and his team provide a first-rate service and I have no hesitation in recommending them.
