Creating a Culture of Academic Integrity: A Toolkit for Secondary Schools

Responding to the growing epidemic of academic dishonesty, this authoritative text lays the groundwork for a positive school makeover. This guide—which culled research from six high schools in Connecticut that indicated that more than 90 percent of students participate in some form of cheating during the average school year—provides teachers, school administrators, and parents with a toolkit of resources and strategies needed to engender a culture of scholastic honesty. With reproducible handouts and instruction on establishing an Academic Integrity Committee, this unique resource provides a plan and policies that support a climate of honesty and hard work. A CD-ROM with copies of each handout and additional references is also included.
