Teacher Responsibilities

The teachers role is to provide students with particular learning objectives, expectations, and in some cases a framework or outline for activities and assignments. It is also important for the teacher to provide students with feedback and assessment throughout the contract period. Furthermore, if a student is struggling with the contract or is finding it boring because it is too easy, the teacher also needs to meet with that student and modify the contract to meet the needs of that student

Student Responsibilities

Student responsibilities begin before the contract as the student must assess their prior knowledge and be honest about what they need to learn. They then must continually do this as they work through the contract. This is partially how they take control and responsibility over their own learning. Finally, as students finish the contract, they need to reflect back on whether or not they have met the objectives set forth. Along with these it is also the students responsibility to track their own progress and meet with the teacher if they are experiencing frustrations.
