Hold Students AccountableIncreasing Students Learning Time1. Communicate assignments and requirements clearlyExplain: Have the students to explain what they should be doing and give chance to ask questionsThen:

Evertson & Poole (2003):

Fostering Student Accountability for Classroom Work(Vanderbilt University)

One of the five keys to promote students accountability for academic classwork is: Providing content instruction: Assuring that all students understand and can apply the content associated with classwork means students make helpful connections between

2. Monitor students progressFisher, et al. (1980 ) : Review of Lit onTime and Learning2002

Enables teacher to: 3. Collect and check classwork & homework:AimTo monitor whether students regularly complete assignmentsWhile reviewing the homework, teacher circulates around the classroom and jots down who has done the homework.:Examples

Set due dates for submitting the stages for certain assignments27Review of Lit on Time and Learning (2002)

Homework is most beneficial when it is:

Relevant to learning objectivesMatch with students abilityAssigned regularlyWell explainedCollected & reviewed during classUsed as an occasion for giving feedback to studentsStudents will actually make effort to do assignments if teachers have the effort to check them and thus making the students to focus on their learning

4. Maintain good records of what students are accomplishingExamples: Recording students grades on a regular grade book OR on the computerPractical tip for handling students paperwork:

Teacher Donny:Review homework every day, but have Ss check their own work. Enter a check in the grade book to show who has done the assignment.Giving points for each in-class assignment, homework, quiz, project

Providing a smooth transition. (so they say)High school block scheduling would be analogous to college scheduling, and the ultimate goal of high school is to provide students with college readiness. This similarity can better prepare students to take on college when they reach that point, because they had already developed time management skills from the similar scheduling in high school.

-Ankur Kayastha, Solution to the Time Crunch (2013)

It doesnt work That way.NO!

PARTICULARLY NOT IN MALAYSIA

Students who miss a block-scheduled day can miss a considerable amount of material in a single subject, possibly making it more difficult to catch up. Some students are better able to manage their time with nightly homework in every class, while other students do better with larger homework assignments that are spaced out over several days. Some subjects may benefit from daily drills while other subjects may lend themselves to less frequent homework projects. Mid-term transfers between schools with different schedules can be problematic in cases where the schedules are different.Jeff Lindsay, The Case Against Block Scheduling
