Why a homework club could work for your child

What is a homework club?

Homework clubs offer a place for your child to work in a supportive environment out of school hours.

Why choose a homework club?

Some children are so self-motivated that they’re able to work diligently on homework and ignore the distractions of normal family life, but not everyone finds it so easy.

• Worksheets sent direct to your inbox
• Keeps your child's learning on track

Doing homework requires a quiet space to work at home and support from you. If your job or other children make it tricky to provide those things you might want to consider the option of a homework club.

Who runs homework clubs?

Schools and many public libraries offer them, usually after school finishes for the day. Check what’s available with your school and local authority. The biggest advantage of a school-based homework club is that it’s on the same premises, so children don’t have to travel to the club.  Familiarity with teachers is also a plus point, and your child is in an environment where they are already relaxed.

If your child would prefer a change of location at the end of the school day a library homework club might be the answer. They usually run from 4pm to 6.30pm and sometimes for a few hours on a Saturday morning. “We find that children start getting more homework from the age of nine onwards so our clubs are of most benefit for eight to 14-year-olds,” says Lucy Love, manager for children and young people at libraries run by Enfield Council. “Under-eights can come to the club but a parent or carer must be with them.”

What benefits do clubs offer?

“The great thing about library homework clubs are the homework centre assistants – while they don’t do the child’s work, they have the knowledge and experience to guide them to the relevant books or online resources such as encyclopaedias,” explains Lucy. “We encourage children to use online data, as it’s usually the most up-to-date, and can offer equipment such as protractors and SATs papers. Homework clubs are also a great way of helping the child’s transition to secondary school.”

What to do after homework club

• When you get home, ask your child to explain what their homework is – this will show you they have understood it properly themselves.  
• Help your child to settle down and concentrate by making sure there are no distractions around them when they go over their homework with you.  
• Encourage your child to check their work to reinforce the learning they have done.

What Is Homework Club?

Homework club is an after school club for students to complete homework/school work. Students report to a specific classroom and are supervised by a teacher. The teacher will offer assistance and check on students to make sure they are completing school work. The length of homework club will vary by school but usually lasts for about an hour after the school day ends. 

Who Is Homework Club For?

Homework club if for students that struggle to complete school work and homework. 

Students that attend homework club benefit from a quiet place to complete work after school. 

Homework club is usually available to all students but often students with a 504 or an IEP will get first consideration.

In my school we have limited spaces in homework club so it’s up to us, the teachers, to choose students that will benefit from it the most.

If you need a description of what homework is then I answered that in this article .

How Often Is Homework Club?

How often a school has homework club really depends on the school and the district. 

First of all not all schools have the means to offer homework club to students.

Because the teacher that supervises the students in homework club needs to be compensated and some schools don’t have the money to pay them. 

For schools that do have the money to pay a teacher to supervise homework club they may offer homework club every day or only a few days a week. 

The middle school I work at offers our students homework club two days a week. 

Is Homework Club Effective?

Whether or not homework club is effective depends on two things: the teacher supervising and the students. 

If the supervisor engages with the students and sets expectations for work completion then the club can have an impact.  

However, if the supervising teacher is not engaged then the students will not get as much work done. 

In my experiences I have seen homework as beneficial to students but have also had students that attend it and it doesn’t seem to impact their grade or learning at all.

Often the students that are in homework club are students that struggle with work completion and organization.

This is why the teacher that supervises them really needs to have them set daily or weekly goals to ensure that work completion is taking place.

How to Set Up a Homework Club

Homework clubs can be a fantastic way for students to get together, help each other, and stay motivated to complete their school assignments. If you’re considering setting up a homework club, here are some steps to guide you through the process.

 Define the Purpose and Goals

Before you start a homework club, it’s important to determine why you’re starting it and what you hope to achieve. Do you want to provide a quiet space for individual study, or are you aiming for collaborative learning where students help each other? Setting clear goals will help guide the structure of your club.

 Choose a Location

A suitable location is critical. This place should be quiet, have enough space, and be easily accessible to students. Libraries, community centers, or empty classrooms are excellent places as they provide a formal atmosphere conducive to studying.

 Set a Schedule

Decide on the days and times that the homework club will meet. It’s important to consider when students are most likely to attend — after school or in the evening. Be consistent with the timing so that students can build it into their routine.

 Gather Materials

Make sure you have all the materials necessary for effective studying: textbooks, reference books, stationary supplies like pens and paper, computers with internet access if possible, printer/scanner facilities, etc.

 Establish Rules and Structure

Creating a set of rules helps to maintain order and focus within the group. For instance, settle on rules regarding noise levels, toy usage during club time (like phones), or bringing snacks. Additionally, decide how the time will be structured—whether there’ll be a quick briefing at the start of each session or if students break off into groups.

 Recruit Members

You’ll need to promote your homework club to gather members. You can do this by creating flyers and posters to advertise around your school or local community centers. You could also use social media or word-of-mouth to get the word out there.

 Find Supervision

Having an adult supervisor like a teacher or parent can help oversee the club activities. This person can provide homework help if needed or mediate any disruptions that arise during study time.

 Secure Funding if Necessary

If you require funds for materials or snacks, look into potential sponsorships from local businesses or educational grants available in your area that support after-school programs.

 Monitor Progress and Solicit Feedback

It’s important to keep track of how well the homework club is meeting its intended goals. Ask for regular feedback from members and adjust your strategies accordingly. This ensures that the club remains effective and continues to meet student needs.

With careful planning and management, a homework club can be an invaluable resource that fosters community support among students as they work towards academic success.

Homework and Homework Club 101

January 8, 2022 by Jill Shafer

Hello, friend!  Let’s talk about homework club and what it looks like in our classroom.

I have used THIS with students in grades three through five but, like with anything, tweak it to meet the needs of your kids .

Disclaimer to start: I’m not here to argue for or against homework.  We have a district responsibility and understanding that homework is a component of the day and not to exceed a certain length of time.  For us, it’s ten minutes per grade level so by fifth grade, no student should be spending more than 50 minutes on homework each evening.

I will, obviously, modify homework for students, as well as provide time in class for homework completion.

Homework is never anything new; it is always review and for us, it’s very predictable, which I’ll share below.

For our room, here’s what is assigned:

-Reading Plus (a program used district-wide): Our fifth graders are responsible for completing three SRs and three RA assignments each week.  They can work at their own pace but we HIGHLY encourage doing at least one each evening.  This is OFTEN done in class but takes anywhere from five (the vocabulary assignments) to twenty minutes.

-Language: There is either a brief spelling activity (first semester) or Wordly Wise activity (second semester). This should take about ten minutes.

-Math: Students are assigned 6-10 review problems, which come straight from their workbooks.  This is usually content that was taught in class about a week ago.  We are constantly spiraling to review.  Once a week, students are asked to do only Jiji, another district-wide math program.  They do this in lieu of a workbook page that night.  Regardless, it takes about twenty minutes.

Okay!  So with that said, homework is always on our May Do board, meaning that if all their other assignments are completed, they can go ahead and work on their homework.  They may not know the math workbook page that night but they can always do Reading Plus, Jiji, or Wordly Wise.

We fill out our planners every afternoon, right before we clean up to go home (our district provides students in grades three through five with the same planners and I model it every single day under the document camera).

I am well aware that students go home to varying levels of parental support and I do not ever want a child to leave feeling like the homework is unattainable.  I am always available to help, whether that’s checking in after-school or being available before school.

Additionally, math in our room is never graded for correctness.  Student get their point if it was completed and effort was shown.  After our math warm up, we go over answers and students will ask for certain problems to be worked out together.

I have homework checkers (two students) that go around during math and star the page if work is shown and the problems are completed.

For Reading Plus, spelling/Wordly Wise, and Jiji (ST Math), I do not check for completion until Friday morning. This gives students an opportunity to practice daily habits (math workbook) with time management throughout the week (reading and vocabulary).

Now, on Friday, if all assignments have been completed, this is where the homework club kicks in.

During soft starts (you can read more about that HERE ), I call students up.  ALL students get called up one by one.  We either go over missing assignments OR they get a punch for their card.

These cards are kept in pencil boxes and treated very seriously.

The resource contains so many different options but I like to use these, pictured.  In order to get a punch (I have some fun ones in HERE ), all assignments must be done.

Missing one or two?  It’s okay.  We talk a lot about the reasons why it might have happened, what we can do next time, or how we can reach out for help if needed.

Not all kids get their cards punched every week and that’s okay.

We celebrate homework club every six weeks.  This gives kids a chance to “catch up” if they missed something one week.

Coming to homework club means they have their card with all their punches and they’re ready to celebrate!

Homework club can look a hundred different ways and I try to switch it up so that it stays exciting and motivating.

Here are some ideas we’ve done in the past:

-Eat lunch with the teacher

-Muffins/breakfast before school

-Trade your homework club card for a homework pass

-Lunchtime movie or craft (they LOVE the crafts and I’m always looking for inexpensive ideas on Pinterest)

-Board game tournament after school or at lunch

-Special games at recess (I’ll get out THESE things and they’ll play together)

-Popsicles after school

-Trade your homework club card for a small surprise (they love fidgets, puzzle erasers, play dough cans, slime, fun pencils; I have a ton in HERE )

You really can modify it to work for YOU and your class but it’s another little layer of motivation.  It also gives me an opportunity to talk to kids about time management skills.  My kids leave elementary school and head off to middle school, which is a new ballgame with changing classes and having multiple teachers.

So, I try to keep homework doable and relevant, accessible and meaningful.  Homework club is just a little bonus!

Any questions?  Ask below!

Hi Jill! Thanks for the blog on homework. I’ve been wanting to spruce up my program, and I even looked for homework ideas on here last summer. I do similar stuff with math review, spelling, and book talk prep. I do have a question… what kind of planner do you use? I think I’ll start using planners next year, but I wonder if there are really simple, cheap ones out there. Also, have you had kids lose their planners? Right now, we use homework folders, and I have three kids who are always misplacing their folders and needing a new one. Those repeat offenders are working on responsibility and organization 🙂 and they’ll get it eventually. Thanks again for all of the great ideas. I may even implement a homework club soon! Andie

Why Homework Clubs Are Good

Kids Enjoy Working in Groups

Pupils figure out how to obtain a feeling of achievement when they’ve complete the tasks they’ve been set. This is something that helps to generate good study habits in students. In these groups, pupils are matched well with their coaches to help them in their weak areas.

Many schools provide homework clubs, but you may, at times, never hear about it. It is always worth asking what’s available as homework clubs are a secure environment where students can get their work done with no distractions. Also, with the advantage of getting aid there in the shape of managers or teachers should they want it.

Conducive Environment

There might be people in the homework club, who may help in a manner that parents might not have the capability to. It’s an environment that’s ideal whenever kids are out of their school environment to be in to perform work.

Provides Extra Motivation

Children feel comfortable and happy being a part of something, such as a homework club. It highlights to students at a young age the value of working hard to find and the importance of homework. But a homework club may be a social place and time where pupils have the chance to grow further in their research in addition to developing their communication abilities.

Clubbing together to get the homework done

Homework clubs operate in different forms and benefit parents as well as children.

What parent hasn’t wished that homework would just go away? At the end of a hard day, it’s hardly the activity of choice when tiredness is fraying tempers all round.

At best homework is time-consuming, at worst it’s an “extreme sport”, as one parent puts it. No wonder some parents resort to finishing it off themselves, just to get rid of it.

Even the Irish Primary Principals’ Network (IPPN) has acknowledged that “homework causes a lot of stress between parents and children” and that “it often erodes the ‘quality time’ that parents have with their children”. It told an Oireachtas committee in 2010 that the role of homework in the education system needed serious research and analysis, but it wasn’t suggesting dispensing with it.

At a time of ongoing debate about the shortness of the primary school day and the need for more support for childcare, homework clubs seem like a neat solution for parents. But they are also very effective in helping children who, for a variety of reasons, may find it hard to do the work at home.

Homework clubs come in many guises, from State-funded ones aimed at supporting disadvantaged children, through individual schools making their own arrangements for the mutual benefit of children and parents, to private businesses filling a gap in the market.

No matter what type of club a child attends, they all have the advantage of providing a routine and structure to get the homework done. The children – and their parents – can go home without it hanging over them.

Homework clubs are an integral part of the School Completion Programme (SCP), which aims to keep students on track to finish a full six years of secondary-level education and sit the Leaving Certificate or its equivalent.

It has 124 projects around the country, covering 470 primary and 224 post-primary schools, and nearly all these projects would have a homework club as part of their after-school activities. Supervised support The clubs target pupils who, in the opinion of teachers, parents or sometimes the children themselves, would benefit from the support of supervised group homework, says Ethel Reynolds, regional manager for the SCP, a strand within the National Educational Welfare Board.

“Not every child wants to stay back and, on the other hand, sometimes there is a queue of people wanting to join homework clubs.”

The clubs help the children to learn organisational skills. Instead of having homework interrupted by every distraction possible, the children are encouraged to apply themselves to getting the job done and the books back in the school bag.

There’s usually the “carrot” of a fun activity at the end, to motivate them – such as art, football or basketball.

The result of being supported in having homework routinely completed is that the child goes into school more confident the next morning, not having to face possible public reprimand from a teacher, Reynolds explains.

Students attending the clubs may finish off their homework at home. “It is not the task to undermine the role of the parent at home in doing this,” she stresses.

It was a demand from parents that led the CBS Primary School in Kilkenny to set up a homework club a few years ago, at a cost of €10 a week for an hour each afternoon Monday to Thursday.

“It was to afford the children the opportunity to do their homework supervised by teachers but there was no tutoring going on,” says principal Denis O’Reilly. And parents were reminded that the ultimate responsibility for homework, in terms of completion and checking, still rested with them.

It worked very well but, in recent times, numbers attending have dropped to about half a dozen, he reports. The club has stopped for the summer term, when the boys are involved in more sporting activities after school, however it will be offered again in September.

Scoil Mhuire Convent Primary School in Roscommon has a more extensive homework club teamed with activities, such as music, camogie, chess and drama, from 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Thursday.

Children can attend just for the homework or for the activities, or for both, mostly at a cost of €2 per session.

Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne in Dingle, Co Kerry, is one example of an Irish-speaking secondary school which runs a free homework club to give extra support to first and second-year pupils who have difficulty completing their homework through Irish.

Their parents may not have sufficient knowledge of the language to help them at home. The students go to it from 4pm to 6pm, Monday to Thursday, and there are teachers there to help them with any words they have difficulty with. Attention Children attending a community-based homework club in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, "absolutely love" it, according to its co-ordinator Mary Boyd Ryan. "They love the fact that you are sitting down with them and giving them attention."

Run by the North Tipperary Leader Partnership in the boardroom of its offices, the club started off one day a week but now operates from 3pm to 5pm, Monday to Thursday, funded through Pobal.

It caters for just over 20 children, aged seven to 10, who are offered sandwiches and drinks when they arrive. People working on Community Employment schemes, who are interested in getting into youth work as a career, sit in with the children as they do their homework, helping out where necessary.

Generally whatever is listed in their homework journals is completed by the children, says Boyd Ryan, who adds: “We would push to get the best from them.”

Meanwhile, a new venture in Blackrock, Co Dublin, called The Hub, is setting up a standalone, private homework club, alongside a Links Childcare centre on Stradbrook Road.

“There is definitely a demand for it,” says The Hub co-ordinator Danielle Nolan, who believes it will appeal to parents who don’t have the chance to go home and get stuck into homework. She also thinks children pay more attention to their homework when they are doing it with someone else.

"Trained teachers will supervise and help them with their homework – and give them extra activities if they finish before time," she adds. Parental involvement Split into junior and senior sections, the club will run from 3-4.30pm, Monday to Thursday, and cost from €12 for one day a week to €29 for all four days.

As much as some parents might like to be taken out of the homework equation, research shows that parental involvement in children’s learning in the home makes a significant impact on improving educational outcomes for their children.

“Homework can offer parents an important opportunity to engage with their children’s learning in the home,” says the chief executive of the National Parents’ Council Primary, Áine Lynch.

“If, for any reason, children complete homework outside the home environment, for example at a homework club, it is important that parents find other ways of engaging in their children’s learning in the home.”

Homework Club

What Is the Homework Club?

The PLUS Programme Homework Club is a programme whereby UCC students volunteer to be placed in a Cork city secondary school to help students with their homework. Volunteers will help junior cycle students (1st- 3rd years).

The Homework Club aims to provide academic support to junior cycle students. It is envisaged that tutors will provide additional academic support to students in an encouraging, motivating and fun environment. The Homework Club aims to foster closer relations between UCC and DEIS-linked schools while encouraging students to consider progression to the third level, particularly where there is little tradition of progression onto higher education.

What Is the Time Commitment?

Tutors are asked to commit to one Homework Club School/time slot for the full duration (5-7 weeks) in Semester 1 and/or Semester 2

You will be assigned to a Homework Club at the same school, on the same day on either:

• Monday  15:00 - 17:30 
• Tuesday  15:00 - 17:30
• Wednesday  12:30 - 14:30 

Volunteers will remain in their assigned School & Day slot for the duration of the programme. We will do our best to offer students their 1st preference day/time slot; however, on occasion, it is not always possible.

Do I Have to Study the Curriculum Beforehand?

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
