Establish strong study habits from the beginning of the year with a contract that details good practices for completing homework. Parents and kids decide how many minutes a night should be devoted to study, and for how many weeks the contract should be in place. The contract includes restrictions on phone calls and TV during homework time, as well as what will happen if the homework is not completed.

Instructional Ideas
- Hand out the contract at the beginning of the year to all students, or hand it out as needed when kids' homework habits begin to slip
- A good resource for parent conferences and team eligibility
Classroom Considerations
- Includes a time allotment guideline for learners from first grade on (10 minutes of homework per grade until high school, in which kids should expect 30 minutes of homework per subject per night)
- Accountability depends on how you use it; contract can serve as a guideline for home study habits, or as a way to improve kids' grades
