Bravo!"--Seth Godin, author, Stop Stealing Dreams Students hate it. Parents wonder if it's worth the tears, frustration, and nightly arguments. Teachers debate whether it's really helpful or just busywork that consumes their precious time. One thing everyone can agree on is that homework is a contentious topic. In Ditch That Homework, Matt Miller and Alice Keeler discuss the pros and cons of homework, why teachers assign it, and what life could look like without it.

You'll discover strategies for improving learning through differentiation and student agency and by tapping into the way the brain works best. Are you ready?
