How are we already starting spring break? This semester is flying by so quickly! This week, we studied accountability. The students learned what accountability is and explored some examples in the YESS Institute workbook. Then, I introduced the Accountability Ladder, which treats accountability as a spectrum. Take a look at the image below to see what it looks like.
Once the kids had a basic understanding of the Accountability Ladder, they shared their own accountability stories with their mentors/mentees. Next, I provided each student with a handout on which they would draw a picture or tell a story about a time when they had an opportunity to be accountable. When they completed their handout, they placed it on the correct rung of our classroom accountability ladder.
To complete the conversation, I asked the students to analyze each handout to see if it was placed in the appropriate place on the ladder.
