Homework and Study Support Book

Appropriate homework can add the equivalent of at least one additional year of full-time education for secondary pupils and can be what learning is at its best: grabbing hold of the world and making it make sense for you. Here the author illustrates how teachers can set more effective, interesting and well differentiated homework, how schools can best support homework, how parents can support the educational progress of their children, and how everybody can make the best use of their time. There are practical ideas for use in the classroom, stimulating ideas to inspire the reader's own creativity and well over 200 examples of homework tasks covering every subject in the National Curriculum. This allows for the different ways in which teachers and parents educate their children and makes a liberating and welcome book for primary and secondary teachers, policy makers and parents.
