ASCD Express Calls for Submissions

ASCD Express is looking for short, 600–1,000-word essays on the theme "Designing Effective Homework." The theme description is below, and guidelines for submissions are here. Send us your submissions by July 20, 2009.

Impassioned arguments for and against homework started early in the 20th century and continue to the present. Yet research shows that homework that's well-structured to ensure completion positively correlates with academic achievement. How does one kind of homework work better than others? How should homework for primary students differ from homework for secondary students? This issue will look at the essential elements of well-designed homework and offer tips for varying homework to address different learning needs and objectives.
