Product reviews for Unhomework

Dave Whitaker, Executive Principal Springwell Community School & Barnsley PRU
Mark Creasy expertly steers you away from the trials and tribulations of homework and into the realms of -˜Unhomework'! This book is not just about making the most of lost opportunities for additional learning but it really gets to grips with how and why children learn and how the traditional concept of homework does not necessarily do what it is supposed to. As a teacher or school leader there is much to consider here. Be prepared to read this book, reflect on your own experiences of homework, be convinced there is a better way of doing things and then go to school and make some changes!

Allow Mark to help you with ideas and inspiration for making a difference to your children's learning. Allow him to inspire whole school policy on learning and explore the true benefits of -˜Unhomework'. When you read this book, and you should, you will see how important it is to make the most of learning opportunities in school and at home.

As a parent I often get frustrated with the standard and relevance of the homework my own children receive. Maybe at the next parents evening I should casually leave a copy of -˜Unhomework' on the desk and see what transpires!

-˜Unhomework' will give you the inspiration and practical guidance you need to break free from the -˜curse of the worksheet'
