In this mixed methods case study, we explored the extent to which novice teachers in one institution were prepared to respond to homework-related concerns, be these in favor of or against the practice. We queried three sources of information: teacher educators, methods course syllabi, and national/state accreditation standards for teacher preparation. Findings revealed several key themes, including challenges inherent in guiding preservice teachers as they navigate homework policies. In addition, even though teacher educators believed it important to prepare preservice teachers for the inherent complexity of homework practices, they provided minimal guidance on how they might address such concerns. Syllabus and standards reviews showed that neither addressed homework-related issues. We discuss implications for preservice teacher preparation.
