Abstract
In this essay-which is presented as a fictitious conversation between a new teacher and an experienced teacher discussing homework-we present research pertaining to homework practices. We introduce four myths about homework practices. Then, drawing on the scholarly literature pertaining to homework, we present findings from research about each myth. Additionally, we present a sample of a research-based district homework policy. We conclude this essay with suggestions for teachers to consider relative to their own homework practices.
