Definition:
A learning contract is a written agreement between the student and teacher that outlines what she will learn, how she will learn it, how long it will take, and how she’ll show what she learned at the end of the process.
Situation:
I have a student in my class who is always behind schedule on projects and comes up with a million excuses as to why the work is not completed. Is there anything I can do to help her take responsibility and ownership of her learning?
