Five Homework Strategies for Teaching Students with Disabilities. ERIC/OSEP Digest E608.
Warger, Cynthia
This digest explains five homework strategies appropriate for use with students who have disabilities and which are supported by research. These strategies are: (1) give clear and appropriate assignments (specific tips from both teachers and students are offered); (2) make homework accommodations (eight common accommodations are listed); (3) teach study skills (eight organizational strategies basic to homework are listed); (4) use a homework calendar (an example of how one teacher used such a calendar to increase communication with students' families is offered); and (5) ensure clear home/school communication (suggestions include specific ways that teachers can improve communication with parents and administrators can support teachers).
