Tools, resources, and strategies to improve students’ sense of scholastic integrity and help them resist cheating.
In their research covering six diverse high schools in Connecticut, authors David Wangaard, Ed.D., and Jason Stephens, Ph.D., discovered that over 90% of students participate in some form of cheating during the average school year. Creating a Culture of Academic Integrity aims to reverse this trend by providing tools to help educators and school administrators.
- Make Integrity a Priority
- Help Students Resist Cheating
- Prevent Plagiarism
In addition, Wangaard and Stephens give instructions for establishing an Academic Integrity Committee—with representatives from the school administration, teachers, students, and the parent community—to plan and implement policies that support a climate of honesty and hard work.
