Homework:
Don’t grade practice!
“Mastery requires focused practice over days
or weeks. After only four practice sessions
students reach a halfway point to mastery. It
takes more than 24 more practice sessions
before students reach 80 percent mastery. And
this practice must occur over a span of days or
weeks, and cannot be rushed.”
(Anderson, 1995; Newell & Rosenbloom, 1981)

“Homework assignments provide
the time and experience students
need to develop study habits that
support learning. They experience
the results of their effort as well as
the ability to cope with mistakes
and difficulty (Bempechat, 2004).”

5.
Feedback – essential to proficiency
“Provide timely feedback. Student learning
improves with timely feedback. It's best to
provide constructive feedback within hours
or a day after students complete an
assignment.”
Marzano, 2014
