Homework. Why do we do it? Is it because we've been doing it for the past 75 years? Is it because we've "always done it." Kids don't like it. Why? Families don't like it. Why? Teachers have a difficult time either grading it or even receiving it from their students. Why? Within this professional development presentation, you will learn about the power of Purposeful Practice versus Homework. The "Why?" questions will be answered and you will have powerful conversations with your colleagues and peers about why we continue to assign hours of homework each night and wonder why kids are either burned out or hate school. Please join Brady for an in-depth look at the difference between Purposeful Practice and Homework and how you as a teacher or administrator can change your mindset about how we are teaching kids, in school and at home.
