Episode 183 - Dr Cassie Rhodes Talks with Dr Jovita Castelino: The Homework Conundrum - Advice for Teachers and Parents

Homework has a key role to play in strengthening memory, building
attainment and helping students to develop transferable,
life-long study skills. If done right, regular, good-quality
homework has the potential to bridge achievement gaps and help
all students become successful, confident learners. Experienced
teacher, Dr Jovita Castelino, talks to us about her new book, The
Homework Conundrum, providing advice and tips for teachers about
how to set effective homework, build a strong homework culture,
support students and use rewards and sanctions that work. For
parents, she outlines how we can help children to understand the
benefits of homework, support homework focus and encourage them
to see how advantageous it can be to take control of their own
learning.
