I'm really struggling to get several students to turn their homework in on time. I'm finding many to just still be very distracted. Has anyone had success implementing any kind of reward or merit system? TIA

We have block scheduling so I favor independent practice over homework. Other teachers at my school give way too much and I know the kids would never do my work

It's a school-wide consequence for me, there is a "homework slip" that lists the assignment, when it was due, and asks for a parent signature along with the completed homework.

I’d like to know more about how this works. This seems like a great idea! What are the consequences after several parent signatures? Some teachers in my school give a lot of homework, some don’t give any homework because of cheating and/or because the student simply won’t do it.

I don’t give homework unless it’s something they didn’t finish because they didn’t use their time wisely. I did this when I taught high school as well. I tell them if they give me 60 minutes of math I give them their time at home…generally works well and they still show mastery and proficiency on standards and skills

I’m giving very very little hw. I think with the freshmen & sophomores the only hw I’ve given was to get the syllabus signed. The juniors not much else.

How do you have time to get through all of the standards?

Please take in mind I am an MS SPED Teacher.....I have stopped letting work leave the room. Most students lose it, toss it, or even have their parents take it. I made folders for everything and we allow for in-class time and if they do not finish it is the first thing we do when we come back.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
