Homework
Homework is an essential extension of classroom learning and serves as a vital tool to reinforce concepts taught during school hours. At The Namakkal Teachers Vidhyaashram, we view homework as a structured method to enhance comprehension, encourage independent study habits, and build confidence in applying knowledge.
Purpose of Homework
The primary aim of homework is to:
- Test alertness and attentiveness in the classroom.
- Reinforce learning through repetition and self-practice.
- Enhance comprehension and application of concepts in a written format.
- Strengthen writing skills, accuracy, and logical presentation.
Homework tasks are carefully planned to build upon classwork and help students retain what they have learned.
Role of Parents
Parental involvement is strongly encouraged. Homework provides an opportunity for parents to:
- Monitor their child's understanding of classroom lessons.
- Identify specific areas where their child may need additional support.
- Offer encouragement and help create a disciplined study routine at home.
However, homework must always be completed by the student independently, with parents acting only as guides.
Teacher Review and Assessment
All home assignments will be regularly checked and evaluated by subject teachers. Teachers provide necessary corrections, feedback, and reinforcement to help improve the student’s performance.
Internal Assessment Criteria
Homework contributes to the internal assessment and overall evaluation. The following aspects are taken into account:
- Timely submission
- Neatness and organization
- Accuracy and completeness
- Consistency and effort
Student Responsibility
Students are expected to:
- Complete all homework on their own to the best of their ability.
- Submit work on time as per the assigned schedule.
- Maintain a homework diary and ensure that all instructions are followed correctly.
By instilling the habit of doing homework sincerely and consistently, Namakkal Teachers Vidhyaashram ensures that students develop self-discipline, time management, and a lifelong love for learning beyond the classroom.
