Homework in elementary school has been the subject of much research and controversy.

The target audience was parents, elementary teachers and administrators. The presentation provided a brief history of homework, a synthesis of the theories of both the proponents and opponents of homework, best practices for the assigning of homework and examples of school districts' homework guidelines and policies.
