A8: Be respectful and understanding that everyones view on hw will vary and thats okay. Also if what you do about hw works for the students keep on doing it. #caedchat

[JudyArzt, Ph.D. @JudyArzt]

Isn't it more so the quality of the homework versus quantity or busy work. If the homework is truly enjoyable, what is the fuss? #CAedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

@principledlady Great point!

[Leila Sackfield @principledlady]

A7: We should focus less on helping Ps support HW and communicate this to them Eat dinner as a family, read together, play outside and get a child to bed early #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A7: I think if the student understands their work and what they are learning & hw is used only to help them improve (as a tool) rather than test their knowledge parents wont have to worry so much about difficult concepts they cant help their child with #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A6: I think homework is definitely a time for personalized learning. Students can use homework as a tool for when they have questions, thoughts, etc if we design it that way #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

@MsAlyssa96 Definitely agree with this!

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A5: Homework should be assigned on what a student has learned rather than topics that can be confused as new or challenging (they may not have the help they need at home) #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A4: I think homework should be graded lightly for reasons such as amount of support at home among other outside factors #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A3: If I taught I’d like to teach 9th grade English. I would assign homework only if I think it would help the lesson. It only benefits the students if it helps them learn and understand better #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A2: I have been told that homework really does help the students if it is homework that is meaningful #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A1: My experience with grade-school homework was always a love/hate relationship. It either really helped me in some classes but as for others it felt like mindless work #caedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

@CAedchat Hey there everyone! Divina an education student from Chapman U! #CAedchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A6: I think teachers feel they are under a microscope when visited because they are not use to it. If we make “just checking in” more common and equal to every classroom this might change the negative connotation of class visits. #leadupchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A5: Go the extra mile to encourage teachers and when they need guidance don’t begin by treating them as though they have already failed instead offer ideas for them on how to adjust what needs adjusting.

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A4: Include the importance of parent teacher relationships and tips on how to be effective in a regular meeting or whenever other important points are being brought up. #leadupchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A3: Positive feedback is a great way to encourage teachers and keep them motivated. #leadupchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A2: A space and time for casual collaboration might make a more free flowing comfortable sharing environment #leadupchat

[Divina Montejano @DivinaM451]

A1: I think if admin takes on a more understanding position on the job going on inside the classroom that can make a difference in this dynamic. #leadupchat
