I.E.3

Activities for monitoring home learning and for providing feedback about learning are planned.

Definition(s) and/or Explanation(s)

Home-learning assignments can be used as an opportunity to provide feedback that reinforces learning, builds learning efficacy, informs learners and the teacher about progress in learning, and that encourages the acquisition of new knowledge.

The PLAN should specify times and activities for providing feedback to students on their home learning.

Planned feedback should be reasonably comprehensive, diagnostic, and timely.

Classroom Examples

A PLAN includes the following activities to monitor home learning:

• A weekly schedule of home learning assignments is kept by learners in notebooks. The notebooks are collected on Fridays. The teacher marks the notebooks and provides feedback to each learner.
