Prototype Mock Up

Problem of Practice:

How do I get high school math students to do their homework when it doesn't "count"?

Over the past few years my high school has moved to a Competency Based Grading system where students grades are based 100% on their summative work. Since homework no longer is averaged into their grade, many students have stopped doing it. This has led to a number of problems such as:

• students being less prepared to move forward in class
• students retaining less material
• students being less prepared for their summative exams
• teachers being able to get through less and less curriculum

I am looking for ways to increase their participation in homework so they see it as a valuable part of their education. I welcome any and all feedback and ideas!
