Homework

Purpose

Homework refers to school-related instruction that is to be completed outside the classroom. It fulfills the following purposes:

Types

Homework is designed to help students understand a wide range of subjects and to reinforce and apply many different skills. Homework assignments are varied and may require the use of technology such as word processing, the Internet, calculators, or e-mail. Although access to technology is readily available at SRHS, parents and students should consider using public libraries and off-site resources as needed. Types of homework activities may include the following:

Time expectations

Time is a key element of effective homework. The time-lapse between instruction in the classroom and the additional practice done at home is an integral element of learning. High school students should spend an average of 10-12 hours per week on combined homework assignments, or a minimum of 20-30 minutes daily on each course. Honors (H) and Advanced Placement (AP) level courses may require significant additional homework time. Also, the Program Description Guide indicates that for each session of classroom instruction in mathematics, the student is expected to spend an hour outside of class on assignments, review, and preparation. In addition, some students may need additional time to complete assignments based on that student's individual needs as delineated in an Individual Educational Plan (IEP).
