What's up with Homework?

from The Denver Waldorf School Podcast Hosted by Sarah Box

What's up with homework at DWS - what is the nature of it, how much, how often? On this week's episode, Kelly Molinet (School Director) and Charlie Orphanides (Educational Director) discuss our Waldorf approach and goals with homework. In elementary school and even leading into middle school, we want children to experience childhood - to play, to interact with nature, to interact with their family and friends - and so the assignment of homework must be carefully considered. While you may see some math practice coming home or vocabulary, the usual rhythm of homework in our younger grades consists of reading and instrument practice. What we value most in a lesson is engagement, creativity, deep learning, and a meaningful lesson within our classrooms.
