Homework Central (Grades 3-9)

New Canaan Country School

Homework Central

Homework Central strives to create educational equity for disadvantaged elementary school students who aren’t receiving the support they need. Through lack of resources, and poor access to technology or academic assistance, too many children start to fall behind, creating an ever-widening academic gap between them and their peers. Homework Central empowers students facing structural inequities through academic assistance, family engagement, and community resources.

More than just getting good grades, academic success encompasses the many things that allow a child to learn in the classroom—completing homework on time, being engaged, developing skills, and growing both socially and emotionally. HWC works to create an environment where students can achieve these things and be rewarded for their success.

Homework Central supports 3rd grade students with new pilot program

Guest Post by Sheryl Young, PVF’s San Mateo County Program Director

Homework Central just completed a pilot to help 3rd grade students who were performing below school level.  These are children whose first language is not English (Spanish for over 90%), and learned from home during their 1st and 2nd years of school due to Covid.

For this pilot, students met 3 days a week after school and worked in small groups of 4 students with a tutor for 4 weeks.  The initial results are remarkable with considerable progress, as determined through Fountas and Pinnell reading assessments, by 85% of the students.  Two students had specific learning issues that were shared with the teachers for further action.

In partnership with local schools, Homework Central provides after-school tutoring, homework assistance, and family support.  Padma Gargeya, Executive Director, is the tireless and enthusiastic leader who has garnered staff, volunteers, and community collaboration during this difficult pandemic period.

When I visited the program, Padma introduced each child to me and showed me a portfolio of their work.  One student read me his favorite book, shyly asking Padma if he could take the book home to read during the summer.

“A heartfelt thanks to each of our donors for support of the literacy pilot program.  We developed this program with curriculum and books from the San Mateo Public Library’s Children’s supervising Librarian and literacy expert, Adriana Valencia.  Each child received 12 books to take home,” said Padma with a smile!  Padma also reminded me that they are looking for program volunteers, snack angels or help with obtaining corporate donations.  Please contact Homework Central at their office, (650) 343-3423.

PVF is proud to help support Homework Central through its San Mateo County focus grants.

Rethinking Schools

By Stan Karp

Homeworkcentral.com  is a kind of one-stop convenience store for students who have assignments due tomorrow. But while the name implies quick searches for kids on homework deadlines, the site’s resources are diverse and impressive enough to be of interest to parents, teachers, and just about anyone else.

The site is organized into three large subdivisions: Homework Central Jr. for grades 1-6, Homework Central for grades 7-12, and Encyclopedia Central for college and beyond. There are also a host of special pages for teacher resources, parent resources, and a seemingly unlimited number of specialized search features.

One of the things that makes Homework Central particulary useful is the way it helps users, especially new ones, navigate the dizzying array of material available on the Internet. Homework Central tries to organize its resources to match the way students would encounter them in school: by academic subjects, moving from the general to specific in a relatively few measured steps. In addition, the pages listed have all been reviewed by a Homework Central editor for relevance. At Homework Central you won’t initiate a search for “Lincoln” and be indiscriminately directed to sites about cars and cities in Nebraska as well as the 16th president of the U.S. There’s also a tour (http://www.homeworkcentral.com/tour/) that introduces users to the way knowledge is organized on the site.

Other student-friendly features include a page on “How to Take Notes” on the web, including instructions for citing Internet material in research reports. You can also sign up to receive weekly lists of recommended sites or send your own specific questions to over 140 experts.

Homework Central has topical pages linked to current events, like the conflict in Kosovo. Recently I directed two of my own students, one from Albania and one from Macedonia, to the Kosovo page (http://www.homeworkcentral.com/spotlight/kosovo/). They found everything from historical and geographical background to current analysis (including progressive as well as mainstream viewpoints) and even an English to Serbian language translator. It proved a much better starting point for investigation than sites at CNN or Time.

Inevitably, perhaps, when organizing so much material, users will find some questionable or curious choices. A search for resources on the abolitionist movement led me to a page on “Other U.S. Leaders” besides presidents. The page had links for Jefferson Davis, John C. Calhoun, and Robert E. Lee, but no anti-slavery figures. A few more clicks did turn up some excellent pages on the struggle to end slavery, but to find it you had to go to “Special Subjects/African American History.”

I was also disappointed not to see Rethinking Schools included on Homework Central’s lists of publications or web sites of interest to teachers.

But Homework Central is a site that has steadily improved over the past year, and hopefully will continue to do so. It’s definitely worth a bookmark.
