Are We In More Than One Business?

Jay, Accountability is an important thing for us to both teach and model. We need to hold students accountable for decisions and actions while at the same time structuring our interactions in a positive way. Students whould be able to make "non-fatal" mistakes from which they can learn. Jeffrey Schillinger
