Choosing the best hand-in and hand-out days

• Avoid hand-in on a Monday: doing so leaves less opportunity for reminding students to complete it.
• Have hand-in day on the same day as a timetabled lesson: students who have completed their homework can be praised and students who have not completed their homework can be reminded to do so. 
• Have the same hand-out and hand-in days across the school: or at least the year group, so that reminders and posters are consistent from teachers and form tutors for all classes.
• Have a weekend between hand-out and hand-in days: this gives students more time to complete their work.
• Choose different days of the week for hand-out and hand-in days: this allows teachers to check books and avoid confusion over which homework assignment the student needs to do if they have been given an extension or detention.
