Homework

What will I be asked to do for Homework?

Homework can take a variety of forms; it will focus on quality not quantity and will focus on a phase of the TEEP cycle: 

• new knowledge – in preparation for a lesson  
• constructing meaning – embedding knowledge through retrieval practice and other methods 
• applying to demonstrate – showing what students know by applying this to different scenarios such as quizzes and exam style questions 
• review- reviewing learning through assignments and tasks which will ask students to reflect and complete improvement tasks on a previous concept or key piece of knowledge 

This will be done through a variety of ways, which may include: 

• Flipped Learning: prepare work to be completed in the next lesson or phase of learning, e.g., read an article, make notes, watch a video and answer questions etc.
• Learning to learn tasks to support in the development of self -study skills.
• Self-study tasks modelled in lessons then home assignments set to develop learning and progress.
• Writing tasks.
