E73 Making Homework More Meaningful: Part 1

E73 In today's episode, I discuss the article, "Key Lessons: What Research Says About Value Homework". This episode started with me wanting to share the kinds of assignments I give for homework. However, after a few minutes into recording, it became clear that more time would be needed discussing the research side of homework (especially since this can be a heated and controversial topic). Next week, I will dive into the details of what homework in my classroom looks like. Listen to find out more about what the research says about homework.
