This book is a guide for teachers, administrators, academic coaches, and parents who want to make homework better for those who want to give their students something more then a pile of worksheets.  The heart of the book is a set of examples and strategies that teachers can use tomorrow to make homework a better experience for students, families, and themselves.

The book is not a cookie-cutter approach, rather an opportunity to shift the perspective.
