  • Understand the four types of homework. Know when and why to have students practice: Memorization of basic rules, algorithms, or laws so the skill becomes rote. Increase in skill speed, used for improving students' abilities to apply these skills in more complex problem solving. Deepening understanding of a concept—providing students time to read further, elaborating on a new idea and expanding their understanding. Preparation for the following day's learning, such as an advance organizer or cue to increase readiness for new information.
  • Practice means students are engaged in applying new learning, often repeatedly

    I don't agree that we can't make these correlations between student performances on tests and teacher effectiveness. But I do wonder what would happen to the children. If I am going to make another $5000 a year if my students all move X distance in a year, how much more inclined am I going to be to add lots and lots of homework in my content area to their workload? We might end up like Japan with a very high teenage suicide rate from all the pressure to perform at a young age. Where is the middle ground? Some schools reward grade levels, if all the students in ninth grade do x, everyone who taught them gets y. Makes more sense, but doesn't address the teacher competency test.
