Homework TipóAssignment Notebooks From Ellen Levy, a teacher at James F. Cooper Middle School in Buffalo Grove, Illinois: ìI use assignment notebooks with daily teacher and parent signatures to help my students turn in homework on a timely basis. I verify that the correct information is written and understood. By touching base with my students everyday, the communication between school and home is enhanced. If the student hates doing this, than the completion of the homework will be rewarded with improved grades and a gradual withdrawal of the signature component. If the student enjoys the process, then perhaps it will become a useful tool for improving the organizational part of the learning process.î
