If homework is going to be given, it’s crucial that teachers shift away from a model in which assignments are checked off or graded, where the point is to enforce compliance, and toward a model in which students explain and explore with one another what they’ve done: what they liked and disliked about the book they read, what they’re struggling with, what new questions they came up with, and so on. As the distinguished educator Martin Haberman put it, homework in the best classrooms “is not checked—it is shared.”
