Assessment and Grading Guiding Principles Best practices Discontinued practices We believe the purpose of homework is to check for understanding, provide feedback, and prepare students for summative assessment. Teachers will only assign homework that is aligned with learning targets. Teachers will only assign homework that supports a student’s individual learning needs. Teachers will only use homework to check for understanding and provide feedback; it will not be graded. Students will complete homework to advance their knowledge and skills. Teachers will not grade homework that is given for practice or to check for understanding. Teachers will not assign homework that does not support growth toward identified learning targets (i.e. word searches, coloring book pages, copy of text passages).
