Create a Homework Policy 
Communicate your homework policy to students and their families. Decide what your homework policy will be prior to the first day of class. Will assignments be started during class and finished as homework? Will you give separate homework assignments? Will you do a combination of the two? When will the homework be due? What percentage of a student's final grade will be determined by the homework? Will homework be evaluated or simply credited for completion? Once you have determined your policy, write it down. Then, post it and prepare a letter to send home with the students, preferably during the first week of school. Be aware of the amount of labor involved in daily homework grading.
