Whole Brain Teaching Universal Homework
Whole Brain Teaching Universal Homework
Homework has been a long-standing tradition in education, with the goal of reinforcing learning and
promoting independent study habits. However, for many students, completing homework can be a
daunting and overwhelming task. The pressure to excel academically, along with extracurricular
activities and personal responsibilities, can make balancing homework a difficult feat.
With the traditional homework model, students are often given a set of problems or tasks to complete
on their own, without much guidance or support. This can lead to frustration and confusion,
especially for students who struggle with certain subjects. It can also create a negative attitude
towards learning and a lack of motivation to complete assignments.
But what if there was a different approach to homework? One that not only promotes learning, but
also engages and empowers students? This is where the Whole Brain Teaching Universal
Homework Model comes in.
With this model, homework is broken down into four parts: Teach, Practice, Share, and Reflect. In
the Teach phase, students are given a brief lesson on the material they will be working on. This can
be done through a short video, interactive game, or other engaging activity. In the Practice phase,
students are given a set of problems or tasks to complete, but with a twist. These assignments are
designed to be more creative and interactive, allowing students to use their whole brain to complete
them.
The Share phase is where students get to show off their work and share their thought process with
their classmates. This not only promotes collaboration and communication, but also allows students
to learn from each other. In the Reflect phase, students are given the opportunity to reflect on their
learning and identify areas where they may need more practice.
