52. Why NOT to Assign Work Over Breaks
About this episode
Confession time: One of my biggest regrets from my time spent in the classroom is assigning homework over school breaks.
Not only did I assign homework over breaks, but sometimes I would even assign projects to cover things we couldn’t get to in class (cringe!). As I spent more time in the classroom, I started to really reflect on my teaching practices and realized assigning work over breaks was not beneficial to me or my students. Today, we’re digging into why you should not assign work over breaks.
