Homework benefits

When administered and followed through appropriately, homework can have the following benefits in a child's learning:

Well designed homework can engage students and help them reprocess or even gain deeper insight in the lesson learned.

Homework promotes parental involvement to improve their child’s learning.

Homework helps teachers to assess a student's mastery of the lesson and enables teachers to adjust instructions to students's needs.

But the greatest benefit of homework from my teaching experiences is that it helps students to develop self-regulation which has long term positive impact in their academic achievement.
