I focused on interviews/surveys with classrooms that struggled with homework completion (to identify triggers). To answer these questions, I examined a number of research articles. Specifically, what contributes to homework resistance? How can we better support students in not only completing, but learning (gasp) from assigned homework? It seems, we are in the dark about engaging students in the homework process. What we don’t hear, is the research on how to excuse-proof our classrooms for homework.

Our cup runneth over with FBI-proof, puppy-dog eyes, procrastinated-filled homework excuses. We hear a lot of stuff when students don’t do their homework.
