What term refers to formal agreements outlining expectations, supports, and accountability?

This question tests recognizing a formal, negotiated agreement that spells out what a student will do, what supports will be provided, and how progress and accountability will be handled. An educational contract is exactly that kind of document—the written understanding between student and teacher about responsibilities, resources, and how success will be measured. It goes beyond simply setting expectations (which could be as vague as “play by the rules”) by codifying supports and clear accountability, making the plan concrete and trackable. The other options describe concepts relevant to behavior or motivation but do not denote a formal agreement that outlines expectations, supports, and accountability.
