Mr. Green, the parent of one of your third-grade students, calls to set up an appointment. He is unhappy because, on the report card you sent home yesterday, his daughter Olivia got a C in science, and she doesn't seem to know why. When he asks you about the grade, you tell him that Olivia failed to submit one multi-step project, two classwork assignments, and three homework assignments during this grading period. As you explain, you realize that:
a. you should have talked to Olivia and her parents about the missing assignments early on, so missing work did not become a pattern.
b. Mr. Green is completely uninvolved in his daughter's homework, because he'd never heard of these projects.
c. you are assigning too much work and that's probably why Olivia didn't complete the assignments.
d. Olivia is an unmotivated student.

Which of the following responses highlights the major considerations in planning and implementing a student accountability system?

c. communicating goals, expectations, rules and procedures and making sure all of these are taught carefully
