Wiley Park Public SchoolHOMEWORK CENTRE Homework practices and study skills: Advice provided by NSW Department of Education and Training (in ‘Homework practices and study skills parent survey’)
Homework Environment • A comfortable, well-lit study area free from distractions. • A designated desk / table • Families with more than one school aged child: A timetable to organise the use of the computer, desks and times to read to you or your spouse
Home-school communication • Encourage your child to talk with their teachers if they don’t understand their homework assignments. • If your child is stressed: revise study habits. If this does not relieve the stress, see the teacher. • Your child will be given work they are capable of doing, while being reasonably challenged as well.
Fostering positive attitudes towards homework • Provide encouragement and support • Show interest in your child’s work. • Encourage your child to develop their own study plans, and praise them for doing so. • Use rewards and not punishment to motivate your child. • Acknowledge responsible homework habits and effort. • Not all young people learn the same way. Encourage your child to try other ways, to see what suits them best.
Family commitments • Allocate the same time each afternoon (Monday to Thursday) for your child to complete their work • Ensure sufficient time remains to participate in family and outside activities. • Try to schedule family events so that they do not conflict with your child’s study plans. • Work with your child to change plans to accommodate both study and family needs.
