Ways to Use Classworks at Home
Classworks can be used to create homework assignments for the following:
Extra practice before the high-stakes Test
Extra practice on specific skill deficits
To reinforce skills being taught in the classroom
For hospital or homebound students
Maintain student knowledge during the summer months
To challenge advanced students
Tips & Tricks
Set clear expectations with the students on what they should / should not be working on within Classworks when outside of school.
One way to make it clear to the student is to create a separate class for just homework assignments and include the words “At Home” or “Homework” in the assignment name.
Make the assignments a manageable length (i.e. 3-4 activities per night). Select just the work you expect the students to complete either that night or during the week. Utilize the Instructional Application filter when creating the assignment.
