The
Board of Education believes that homework is an important part of the
educational program for students in the Wake County Public School System and
should be assigned on a regular basis. Homework assignments should be
purposeful continuations or extensions of the instructional program and
appropriate to the students' developmental level. Homework should help
students become responsible, self-directed learners, improve their academic
achievement and provide reinforcement opportunities. |

|
5510.1 |
Since
each student spends a major part of each weekday in class and since there are
other valuable experiences to be gained outside school, homework shall be
planned carefully and evaluated periodically regarding its appropriateness. |
||
|
5510.2 |
It
is assumed by the Board of Education that homework will be done by students
outside of school hours. The amount of such work required of students shall
increase as grade levels increase and shall be commensurate with abilities
and course content. |
||
|
5510.3 |
The
staff of each school shall develop a homework plan to assure that this policy
is fully and properly implemented. Each school's plan shall be submitted for
approval to a member of the administrative staff designated by the superintendent.
Once approved, the staff of each school shall be responsible for informing
students and parents of the homework plan. Additionally, it shall be the
responsibility of each teacher to understand the homework plan and
participate in it. |
