Item description

These are ready-to-print homework passes ( 8 passes per sheet ) for your students, perfect to use with your classroom management system. There are  three  versions:

• PDF Print & Reuse Version  – This has wording already embedded into the homework pass. This version would be useful if you plan on reusing the homework passes after students redeem them. Just print multiple copies on colored card stock, laminate, and cut.
• PDF Print & Use Version  – This has fill-in-the-blank wording already embedded into the homework pass. This version would be useful if you plan on handing out personalized homework passes for students to redeem. Just print multiple copies on colored paper and cut.
• Editable Version   – This version includes a text box with wording already typed in. Just click in the text box to change the text and font as needed.  Please note that the title “Homework Pass” is not editable .

Quick Tip:   If you want to maximize the margin space when printing (so you have less to cut off around the edges), save the editable PowerPoint version as a PDF. Then depending on your printer, you can set the printing setting to “Actual Size” or “Custom Scale” it to around 95%, give or take. By doing this, the homework passes will print as close to the edge of the paper as possible.

The Magic of a Homework Pass for Classroom Management

I surprised all of them this morning with a HAPPY NEW YEAR homework pass. I rarely hand out paper homework passes because I am trying to cut down on my class’ paper consumption. This year students have received only three paper homework passes Welcome Back, Birthday and Happy New Year. 

Students get so excited when they get a homework pass. The majority of my students do not use them. They like to collect them throughout the year to see how many they can collect and not use. I taught some of my current students last year in my 7/8 split. They asked me on the first day of school if their homework passes carry over.

K-Hope you are feeling better soon! I love the idea for the passes! I don't do this because I expect homework to be done and I give students plenty of time to get it finished and handed in on time. I do use something similar to you though..I stopped having a prize box this year and I have a set of cards…I got the idea from PINTEREST..and I laminated them. Things like, Special Supply Box, Specialty Seating, Wear a Hat in Class, Wear your IPOD in class. The kids LOVE it. I keep track of them in a method similar to yours…but I do hand out the pass…the kids love picking one out and then they have to submit it when they want to redeem it. I guess I don't worry too much because I laminated them, so they will get used again and again. This has motivated my students much more than the regular "pull something out of the prize box" and it has cost me next to nothing! Get better soon!

Homework help

Necessity of online homework help.

Contemporary world is a scene for competitions. Starting at early childhood environment immerse us into struggle for best positions. With constant population growth it becomes harder to get a place in kindergartens, schools for gifted children, prestigious universities and, of course, you are not alone in desire to have a well-paid job. Children since early age know that they must study hard, devote themselves into different subjects, and be successful and active in post-school projects. Under pressure of numerous complex tasks no wonder they often require homework help. For their needs special websites were launched. And now every child can get guidance and online homework help from every corner of the world. With opportunity to ask questions about necessary subjects he will at his own pace learn information. This also adds more individuality to process of studying, as children might experience problems with concentrated and fast group-learning. Online homework help is not merely a way to make grades better and to finish all tasks in time, it's personal attention and support. Websites offer plenty of subjects to work at, but according to searches most popular (as it's complicated to understand) is math homework help. This subject is a nightmare for both schoolchildren and their parents.

Why using college homework help is beneficial

It might come as surprise for graduates but when you enter college or university, amount of homework will be only increasing. Yes, besides lectures and practical courses you are obliged to do some homework too. And it might be incredibly more complicated than all things you have done in school. Plenty of students are struggling to cope with amount of tasks themselves but some are looking for websites for college homework help. With current subjects, with unknown teachers, with new classrooms it's stressful enough for young people to be focused. That's why students choose homework help discord, a place to discuss all difficulties online and solve problems. With guidance and support of experts it's easier to understand unknown topics and work on self-improvement. It's recommended not to torture yourself and get accounting homework help or any other kind of assistance. With wide range of professionals you can find a person no matter how complicated your task is.

Is it safe to trust strangers with important tasks?

Looking for online help with college or school tasks you might doubt reliability of person who is assisting you from other side of screen. How is it possible to find a proper tutor for difficult statistics homework help? Read reviews, study information, ask for certificates or diplomas to be assured you hire a true expert to perform job

Why I stopped giving homework passes & my students loved it!

For years (literally, like 7 of them), homework passes were my go-to reward. Had a birthday, I gave you a Birthday Pass.

Did something above and beyond? I rewarded you with a pass.

Get the picture? It was pretty bad…or good, depending on your viewpoint. About a year ago, I had an epiphany.

As I am sure you know, there is a plethora of research on homework.

There are those in the Alfie Kohn camp , who argue homework has no educational purpose. Then there are those who suggest that without it, there just isn't enough time in the day to build all the necessary academic skills.

However, neither of these camps actually swayed my decision. Keep reading to find out why I no longer give homework passes & what I do instead.

Why I stopped giving homework passes

So why did I give up on passes?

While they weren't causing any major issues, they also weren't serving any purpose. In fact, they were working against my goals.

I stopped giving these passes because it gave the impression that I didn't see the homework as purposeful or valuable.

Why am I giving it if I am willing to let you skip it?

A homework pass tells students that homework doesn't matter. They can skip it on a whim just by trading in a ticket. Some students used these appropriately – when they forgot an assignment or had a busy night and couldn't quite finish. However, most did not.

Homework passes tell students that the assignment itself is a punishment.

Instead, I want my students to be getting value from their assignments…perhaps even (GASP!!) enjoying it.

How do I handle things now that I quit giving homework passes?

At my campus, homework is required for all students starting in first grade so eliminating homework wasn't an option. While I may have wanted to, it just wasn't a choice for me. Instead, I decided to take a different route.

I decided to incorporate choice . I believe that choice is one of the biggest transformational factors we can incorporate into our classrooms. So the first thing I did was change the assignments to give students options.

For me, this came in the form of homework choice boards, which we called Homework BINGO .

Homework choice boards offer me the opportunity to differentiate while being sure students were practicing the essential skills required by my school – like math facts and consistently reading at home.

When I introduced the new homework format, the students LOVED it! It was the first time they felt like they had any control over their school assignments.

How do Homework Choice Boards work?

I knew homework should focus on practicing skills that students have already learned. Many students don't have a parent to help them with homework, and they don't need to be trying to master new skills without support.

I also don't want to set families up for added stress because they aren't available to help as much as they would like. It just isn't great for building home-school relationships , you know?

That's why I set up the assignments in each square of the choice board to be something they should already know how to do independently.

Reading, writing, math – the basics. I knew if my students continued to build on the basics at home they could do the more challenging tasks at school more easily.

I created the options on the Homework BINGO boards to be familiar but to push students slightly out of their comfort zone. For example, about half of the squares on the board were reading and writing activities, but each square is different.

The option in one square might be 15 minutes of reading about a famous person.

Another square is reading a book of your own choice. They are both reading, but now the students have options and parents can be in control of differentiating based on what works for their lifestyle.

I did the same thing for writing, math, and spelling (all our required homework components).

So what are the rules of Homework BINGO?

I urge the students to make a variety of choices in order to earn BINGO each week. However, I do not make this a requirement. Instead, each student must finish 10 of the 25 squares.

I offer an incentive for those earning BINGO – a chance to earn line leader the following week. Since this is a pretty hot commodity in my classroom, I get many students trying to enter the competition.

Regardless of whether they get BINGO, students have their choice board signed by an adult and return it on Friday. That's it! I pass out a new board on Monday, and students glue it into their take-home journal and we start the process again.

And what do your students and parents think about it?

You wouldn't believe how many students describe their homework as fun!

And the parents?

Let's just say I get a LOT less parent communication about homework now.

Over the years, I've heard it all.

“You give too much homework.”

“Can you give us some extra assignments? We need more homework.”

With the Homework BINGO boards, parents can differentiate for their children. The ball is in their court with how much homework to give beyond the minimum expectations.

I even get comments during parent conferences about how much they like the homework and how they see their children challenging themselves to try something new.

Definitely not something I ever imagined happening.

My replacement for homework passes – Choice Boards

Of course, I still have rewards in my room. I've adjusted them so they don't undermine the joy of learning as the passes did.

Popular choices these days include:

• Shoes off math – a carry-over from my own 2nd-grade teacher, Mr. Hammer, who was WAY ahead of his time
• Use markers or crayons instead of pencils on an assignment
• Flashlight reading

Basically, I have decided to give other choices that are exciting to the students. The funny thing is, I don't miss homework passes…and neither do my students. My homework process is smoother, and my students are interested in participating.

Want to try the BINGO choice boards in your classroom?

Want to give this differentiated homework option a try? It is currently available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.

You can get Homework BINGO here .

It contains weekly homework sheets aligned with a September to May school year. Each week has a slightly different set of options that go with monthly themes and holidays.

Homework BINGO is also editable to allow you to align tasks to your unit plans and practice your students need to be successful. This means you can provide differentiated homework menus to fit your classroom each year.

I'd love to hear more about homework in your classroom. Do you still use homework passes?

We should be talking more about dumbed-down grades in schools

The issue has been festering for decades. Studies, conferences and PTA gossip regularly reveal grades awarded by teachers on report cards that distort how much students are learning. We sometimes complain but do little about it.

Now researchers Meredith Coffey and Adam Tyner of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute have taken this exasperation to a new level, with a detailed report wondering why we demand so little of our students when their school hours are critical to their futures.

We journalists are as much at fault as anybody. We often report about political fights over sexual and racial references in classes and textbooks but mostly ignore easy grading designed to keep students and their families happy rather than motivated to make schools work.

In their report — “ Think Again: Does ‘equitable’ grading benefit students? ” — Coffey and Tyner bemoan policies such as those that forbid penalties for late work or ensure nothing that students do will be marked less than 50 percent despite evidence many kids don’t understand the lesson.

The researchers admit that some adjustments in traditional grading can be useful. “But top-down policies that make grading more lenient are not the answer, especially as schools grapple with the academic and behavioral challenges of the postpandemic era,” they write.

“No-zero mandates, homework grading bans and prohibitions on penalties for late work and cheating … tend to reduce expectations and accountability for students, hamstring teachers’ ability to manage their classrooms and motivate students, and confuse parents and other stakeholders,” the report states.

They note a 2004 study of more than 5,000 third-, fourth- and fifth-graders in Alachua County, Fla., by professors David Figlio and Maurice Lucas that found students assigned to teachers who graded more strictly “went on to experience greater test score growth in both reading and math.” A 2020 study by American University’s Seth Gershenson of eighth- and ninth-grade Algebra I students in North Carolina found the same thing happening, both in the tough teachers’ classes and subsequent math courses.

Standardized tests that measure what children actually know are exposing a tendency to cover up failure. Gershenson’s report on grading standards in North Carolina found that from 2006 to 2016 more than one-third of students awarded a B in algebra failed to score proficient on a state algebra exam. Nationally the average ACT composite score in 2021 was the worst of any year since 2010, while the average grade-point average of ACT test takers that year was the highest ever reported, 3.4 on a four-point scale.

By contrast, the average U.S. high school grade-point average increased from about 2.6 in 1990 to about 3.0 in 2021.

In the 2000s and increasingly in the 2010s, educators who felt tough grading was creating an unhealthy dislike of school pushed for eased requirements. Books by grade-reform gurus such as Ken O’Connor, Cornelius Minor and Joe Feldman sold well and led to many large districts banning zeros on assignments.

Many educators say that trend has gone too far. In his report on disappointing results in North Carolina, Gershenson quoted one teacher saying: “We just end up, as teachers, it’s easier — and this is awful to say — it’s easier just to pass the kid than to actually give valid feedback, if that makes sense.”

In some places, the equitable grading movement has weakened one of the most successful school reforms of the past 50 years — improving high school learning by getting more students into college-level courses such as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate.

Noah Lipman teaches courses in AP U.S. history, African American studies, government and macroeconomics to juniors and seniors at Highlands High School in San Antonio. Almost all of the school’s students are from low-income Hispanic families.

Teachers in several parts of the country have reported that disadvantaged students benefit from having to struggle in AP courses. Because of their exertions, they argue, the students can emerge better prepared for college, even if they do not pass the AP final exams.

Knowing this, Lipman helped create a rule at Highlands High that no student would be allowed to drop any AP class in the first six weeks. Administrators, however, have ignored that restriction, he said. They often pull his students out of AP much sooner because of fear that low grades would discourage them, a central tenet of the equitable grading movement.

“Between 10 to 15 percent of my students are dropped from my roster in the first four weeks,” he said. “Often, I never even know the student is being dropped. I am never part of the conversation.”

San Antonio schools spokeswoman Laura R. Short said the district provides “access to AP courses for all of our students.” But she did not explain why district supervisors were pulling students out of AP courses despite the protests of teachers like Lipman other than to say parents initiated the requests. Lipman said he had not seen that in his classes.

Politicians find it easy to inspire anger in voters about sexual and racial topics in classrooms. But it is harder to get those same voters excited about too many students getting easy A’s.

The issue has become a part of American school culture as indelible as pop quizzes and parents night, although not much has been done about it. It goes at least as far back as 1913, when educational psychologist and elementary school textbook editor Guy Montrose Whipple attacked “the reliability of the marking system” as “an absolutely uncalibrated instrument.”

More emphasis on stretching young minds rather than padding their grade-point averages would help. Challenging tests such as AP and IB finals are graded by impartial experts. That motivates more effort than final exams in regular classes that are graded by students’ own teachers, who know those children and tend to be more lenient.

But so far school boards appear to have too many other topics on their agendas to make more demanding work for students a priority.
