Accountability Agreement

Accountability Agreement Template

Focus

My focus for English class, ENG 4UE, is to accomplish the following:

· I want to be able to write better essays in a shorter time period.
· I want to pass this class with at least an 85% or higher.
· I want to write a two great ISU essays.
· I’d like to pass the APA test with at least a level 4.

Contributions

The contributions that I will make to this class this semester are:

· I will contribute to this class by not interrupting a lecture and asking questions if I do not understand something.
· I will contribute to this class by writing a weekly blog.
· I will contribute by sharing my opinion with the class if I have one regarding a certain subject.
· I will contribute to all my group projects. I will not let just one person do all the work. I will contribute to the group equally.

Accountabilities

The behaviours that I will be held responsible for are the following:

· I will be held responsible for attending my classes on time, to not disturb my classmates.
· I will be held responsible for staying on task in class and not to have a negative attitude.
· I will be held responsible for completing my homework.
· I will be held responsible for doing my best in all my classes.

Supports

I will need some help from some people in order to achieve my accountabilities and goals. Theses people are:

· My parents are one of my supports because they push me to do my best and they need to make me spend less time on the computer and more time working efficiently.
· I will need the support of Mr. Murray to be clear on what he wants and expects from the class on our assignments, especially for ISU, what will be on the exam and APA exam.
· I will need the support of Freddie, Yanick, and Julian to tell me what I missed in class while I was absent and if I am falling behind, I will need their help to tell me what I need to finish.


Measurements

Success is very important to me.

· I will know what success looks like when I get my report card and it shows that I passed the class with an 85% or higher.
· I will know what success looks like when I can write better essays in less time.
· I will know what success looks like when I have learned a lot from the class.
· I will know what success looks like when I have passed the APA test with at least level 4.

Consequences

When I succeed in a goal I should be rewarded and when I fail I should be punished by:

· I should be punished with detention or travel time if I mouth off and talk back to the teacher.
· I should be rewarded by my parents with something I want when I succeed at one of my goals like passing the class with an 85% or higher.
