Apologize their own way and offer repair
When to use this goal
For students who refuse to apologize, mumble a quick sorry to end the talk, or apologize without fixing anything, so the same harm repeats. Present levels and communication mode, not grade, decide fit.
- Baseline
- Score the next three apologies, real or practiced, with the rubric. Note whether the student skips naming what happened, refuses the apology, or never follows through on a repair.
- Tips
- Never force an apology; a forced sorry teaches little. Give the student time and a choice of mode, and let the other person decide whether to accept. The repair matters more than the exact words.
- Limits
- The goal measures the steps the student takes, not remorse. The other person's reaction is not scored. Some harms need adult action beyond an apology.

Goal
