Homework Policy
Homework is recommended because assessments are carried out periodically and homework helps the teacher to understand the areas where the student(s) need further help before delivering a new lesson.
Also keeping in mind that students are learning online, their day/time should be organized to meet additional time to review, prepare and submit homework on a regular basis.
We believe it should be reasonable in length and expectations so students have time for after school activities and to pursue other interests. Where possible, assignments will be given before the weekend, which should help students to manage their time and develop good study habits as well as allow them to pursue activities outside of the virtual classroom.
Procedure
Furthermore, homework is included as a formative assessment, and serves as an indicator of the student’s level of understanding. It is also assessed on the work habit rubric for inclusion in the effort grade.
Homework timetables are available for parents online. Teachers would only assign homework at the end of each class. Long-term assignments and projects that students will be required to undertake will be factored into this timetable in order to have a balance of time and quality.
Homework will be divided into two categories: compulsory (recommend) and optional. While compulsory or recommended homework will carry marks, optional homework submitted will earn students bonus points.
All homework will be marked and assessed by the respective subject teacher.
