Expectations and Accountability

In order to continue the mission of student achievement, it is imperative that everyone who belongs to the school community contributes to attaining this goal in meaningful ways. This includes administrators, teachers, influential educators who interact with students outside of the classroom, parents, family members, and students. All parties must be held responsible for supporting each individual learner and accommodating their needs in order to obtain academic success. In this course, we will explore how a school community can contribute to holding students and teachers accountable to achieve academic success. As a result, the culture for learning will strengthen as more student support is provided.
