Maybe they don't have the support at home to complete their work or maybe they just don't want to do it. A strategy I used in my class was based on the Tribes process. I gathered my students in a community circle and charted two things on a T chart: What I need to complete my homework and What I can do to complete my homework. The students shared ideas for each side of the T chart. While it didn't solve the homework completion entirely, it started a dialogue in the class. Some of the students had an opportunity to share some hurdles. The class was able to help problem solve solutions. The students also gained some new study skills ideas. The chart was reviewed, modified and/ or updated frequently. Some students have a hard time doing homework.
