Redefining Student Accountability - Tom Schimmer - Bog

"Do grades really drive student behavior? Are consequences the best way to make students responsible? Author Tom Schimmer says student accountability can be taught, developed, nurtured, and reinforced like academic skills. He advocates using a three-tiered framework and trauma-informed, restorative, and schoolwide approaches to increase students' chances of learning the skills they need to take responsibility for their choices and actions. Schools operating as professional learning communities will find this book an invaluable resource for redefining student accountability. Stop waiting for students to take responsibility and start teaching them how to do it"--
