How much homework should a student expect each night?
The amount of time spent on homework varies because students differ so much, but allowing for one to two hours of homework a night would be a good rule. Too often, students struggle with homework assignments because they don’t have access to a teacher or another adult that can help them with material they are struggling to understand. Gateway will often flip-flop lectures and homework. Lectures can be recorded for podcasting or placed on DVD for the students to listen to, stop, rewind and fast forward as homework, allowing class time to be spent on discussion, collaboration and re-teaching.
