Teaching accountability - all students need to take
ownership in their learning
from Good to Great – Jim Collins
“No matter how much you have
achieved, you will always be merely
good relative to what you can
become. Greatness is an inherently
dynamic process, not an end point.
The moment you think of yourself as
great, you slide toward mediocrity will
already have begun.”
