Chapter 6: Accountability for High Standards

I liked this chapter because it was about making students accountable for their actions. I think this is a great thing to introduce to students at the middle level because this is an important skill to have for the future. I like the idea of having students teach themselves, like using Jigsaw or scaffolding assignments. This makes them accountable for their own knowledge. I also liked the idea in the book about having students revise old assignments for "extra credit" rather than having students do another assignment. It's also important for teacher to tailor their lessons to their students learning styles. They must hold themselves accountable if there are not enough options in a lesson or if some of the students don't understand because of the lesson. This is really important for teachers to realize.
