Homework needs to be completed in order to produce the highest achievement gains. Design it with ease of completion in mind.
A large amount of homework does not result in better learning.
Homework should be academically purposeful, not a punishment or a symbol of the seriousness of study.
Homework should be explicitly tied to the current learning goals of the class.
Homework should be able to be completed without adult assistance.
Parents or guardians should not be expected to act as content experts.
Parents should, however, be provided with clear homework guidelines.
Assignments that involve using the parents' expertise or personal experiences (such as interviews) are often successful.
