Provide additional practice, increasing the amount of time students are actively engaged in learning and extending time on task. Be useful to teachers for monitoring student progress and diagnosing student learning problems. Be an effective way to increase student personal responsibility and individual accountability. Facilitate more rapid movement through the curriculum: students augment class time with outside study, freeing teachers to introduce new material more quickly. Lead to increased communications between parents and the schools and encourage parent awareness of student learning. Contribute to students' and parents' understanding that the school holds high expectations of students.
