Unhomework: How to Get the Most out of Homework Without Really Setting It

by Mark Creasy

Of all the aspects of day-to-day school life, the one that causes the most aggravation and unpleasantness for children, their teachers, and their parents is homework. But the one aspect that could add the most value to children’s school experience, to their approach to learning, to their achievements in the classroom, and to their success beyond school as independent, resilient, and resourceful life-long learners, is homework . . . done well. This book, drawn from genuine classroom experience that really makes a positive difference, is full of tips and ideas to help make the move to children taking responsibility for their own work.

[Anthony Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very well written - a mix of anecdotes and sound theory.
Quite simply this approach of greater trust in our pupils and handling the reins to them for designing and setting homework appears to work.
