In this Webinar

K–12 homework practices have continued to evolve since the first edition of Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs was published in 2009. In this webinar, author Cathy Vatterott examines the evolution of homework since then and how concerns about equity and academic stress have led to increased parent activism as well as changes in K–12 homework policies.

Dr. Cathy Vatterott is Professor Emeritus of Education at the University of Missouri–St. Louis, a former middle school and high school teacher, and a former middle school principal.

She is the author of three ASCD books: The Teens Are Not Alright: School and Classroom Practices to Support Student Well-Being (2025); Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs, 2nd Edition (2018); and Rethinking Grading: Meaningful Assessment for Standards-Based Learning (2015).
