Home Learning
Home Learning at St Martins School
Home learning is an extension of the school programme and supports, enhances, and consolidates teaching and learning. It provides a positive link between home and school.
The class teacher:
- outlines expectations, routines and suggested time requirements for home learning to students
- sets home learning that reflects students’ changing ages and stages, individual needs, and reinforces teaching and learning
- sets home learning which considers the key competencies of the New Zealand Curriculum, namely, managing self, relating to others, participating and contributing, thinking, and using language, symbols, and texts
- monitors home learning and provides constructive feedback to students
The class teacher:
- ensures students understand their home learning tasks and can work independently, where possible
- communicates home learning concerns to parents.
Students:
- are responsible for their own home learning
- understand their home learning tasks and work as independently as possible.
Parents:
- encourage and support your children
- provide feedback to your child and their teacher
- communicate with the teacher if your child is unable to complete the home learning, or if family or other circumstances take priority.
