What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

'"review"


name, title

“In this important book, Tom Schimmer supports educators as they empower students to take responsibility for their behavior. He places the cognitive demand of learning where it belongs— on the student—and provides immensely practical advice for busy teachers. The approach is especially helpful for students in economically disadvantaged communities who often bear the brunt of archaic teaching and discipline practices. Every educator should study and use this book.”

Douglas Reeves, author and educational speaker; founder, Creative Leadership Solutions

“Grading practices are broken in our education system and can do more damage than good. Tom Schimmer addresses this current reality head-on, challenging the norm of linking grades to student behavior and providing real strategies to help educators look beyond tradition for solutions.”

Chad C. Roland, principal, Kiski Area High School, Pennsylvania

“Redefining Student Accountability is well written and offers a clear argument for how to move forward to support learners. Its restorative and trauma-informed approach is woven throughout the practical strategies for teaching, assessing, and reporting. This book adds to the growing and important work around aligning assessment, RTI, and PLCs within the accountability context.”

Bryn Williams, principal, Coquitlam School District, British Columbia, Canada
