The SecEd Podcast: Making homework effective

All homework should have a clear purpose – but what? This podcast asks what secondary teachers should consider when planning homework.

We discuss the purposes of homework, different types of tasks, and which are most effective.

We agree some golden rules for setting homework, ask how much we should be setting, and what teachers should avoid doing.

We discuss what we should do with the results of homework. Should there always be feedback? What about checks or whole-class feedback? Should homework always be 'marked'? How can we tackle misconceptions? How can we use peer-marking and approaches to keep workload manageable?
